No joy. Had to kick the nic again this pm after being gone all day. Maybe it is something with the nic going to sleep and slipping into a coma, requiring the paddles to resuscitate it. #@$%! System here is OS 13.1 Anyone else having issues with a USB wifi nic? ============== On 11/10/2015 07:36 AM, Stevens wrote:
+1 to driving a stake through avahi's heart.
For quite some time my main computer is a mini-ITX I5 (1156). To get wifi (my router is across house from here) I use the ASUS N13 usb which had a maddening habit of needing to be kicked with a "systemctl restart network.service" at seemingly random intervals. The behavior was quite irritating, to say the least but I didn't see anything obvious and chalked it up to hardware incompatability UNTIL 1) I read the thread on avahi daemon and 2) while looking for something else I found pointers to avahi working with the device in the usb port used by the NIC. Needless to say, I had an "AHA! moment" and killed avahi. So far there hasn't been a hiccup from the NIC.
Thanks to whomever started and contributed to that thread. Only time will tell but I am hopeful that my problem is solved because of it.
