[opensuse] re: Avahi
+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.

In my case avahi was not the culprit. It got awfully talkative because of machine configs in my network. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

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:

I have had problems with wifi nics in the past. It had to do with power saving mode kicking in and shutting down power to usb devices (the USB hubs built into the mother boards). I had to prevent that device from being powered down in sleep mode and I forget the details. But you might have enough to start googling. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
