Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!

I've been using IWD for the wireless connection for some time now, and it's worked without issues, until now. Amongst today updates there was one for the kernel, linux-image-5.11.0-25-generic, upon reboot, I found I got no connection, rebooted again just to see if that did anything, it didn't, rebooted again and choose advanced options, then booted to the previous kernel, linux-image-5.8.0-63-generic, and IWD works again, so I assume the problem has something to do with the kernel being updated. I checked the status of iwd.service and this what I got:

Code: Select all

systemctl status iwd.service
● iwd.service - Wireless service

This is the system info:

Any ideas on how to solve this? Other than disabling the service and go back to using wpa_supplicant? Thanks in advance for all your answers.

Hi!

Ran into the same issue, there is already filled bug for this. As a temporary workaround installation of a newer IWD version from non-oficial repository is suggested. This worked out for me.

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for my late reply. I'll try this and see how it goes.
