The weird thing is that it seems to be working? Either I misdiagnosed the problem, or maybe my old one was just broken.
Similar thing happened to me a while back, though the new one was just as much of a pain. So anyway, there is now a new, RJ45-shaped, hole in my wall.
That was a perfectly reasonable response.
My overactive imagination: They used a speargun designed to fire RJ-45 shaped bolts through walls, pulling high tensile strength networking cable with it.
That's gonna be a good game. Like power wash simulator or viscera cleanup detail, but for structured cabling.
Some distros have crusty old kernels/firmware and thus lack optimal support to boot lol.
Anyway even with Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7, it was not great even a month back. π
I had to rebase to Bazzite-Testing and back to Bazzite-Stable a few times..... Ended up pinning an older testing image for a while to keep working wifi while Fedora upstream fixed their crap.
The joy of Atmoic made that super simple and painless I'll say.
Rolling back updates on tradish distros can be painful to the point of reinstall sometimes lol.
I personally would avoid Wifi 7 or anything newer. It takes a while to develop kernel support and it will be a bad experience. Wifi 7 support was only finished in the last year or two and it is going to be buggy.
This.
Don't expect the brand new gear to work on Linux. It takes a while for the neckbeards to get access and write the drivers.
Heck, even new gear from companies that contribute their own drivers can be shaky.
I'm sorry, but for desktop, Linux can't be relied on as stable for early gear adoption. Usually even the specs are in limbo still.
This is coming from a linux/bsd only user for many years.
The vast majority of hardware is support maintained by the manufacturer. However, it takes quite a while for it to trickle down. Linux is purely a monothic kernel so bugs can be very bad.
These shit are so weird, breaks on windows works on Linux, doesn't work sometimes on boot and I have to restart my pc for it to work
modprobe, man
The modem chipset everywhere are a CPU in its own and a black box at that.
In your case it might go to sleep occasionally.
Intel WiFi. End of discussion.
Yep. Got an Intel AX210 Typhoon Peak in my (AMD) laptop. Never had a single issue. Their CPUs might be crap, but their wifi is the business.
@the_q @The_Picard_Maneuver reminder that intel ax series does not work with ax and even ac normally in most regions

Just curious but what distro are you using?
I might be able to help in my spare time
Pop OS. It seems to be working for now, but I think my next step if it happens again will be to just use ethernet and call it a day.
Ethernet is the way.
You could try switching your wifi backend to iwd instead of wpa_supplicant.
If you're using NetworkManager, then create the file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf, and add the following configuration:
[device]
wifi.backend=iwd
