[13:41] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:28] <ahoneybun[m]> mmikowski you seem to have gotten Wi-Fi 6E to work on Linux? Does it actually connect to a 6E router and work?
[19:36] <dm2912> Hello everyone - HFChat and DU are going to make a way for chatters to have a recurring subscription to help support the site. They're looking for incentives that would encourage chatters to subscribe! Send them an email at coffee@healthfulchat.org! It will be launching soon. Ideas submitted before 2/28 will enter you into a raffle to win one free month. The site will still be free.
[19:37] <arraybolt3> dm2912: Sorry, but this is considered spam here and is unwelcome.
[19:40] <dm2912> arraybolt3: oh my god, that was not meant to happen
[19:40] <dm2912> that was posted on a totally different server
[19:40] <arraybolt3> lol, I've done similar stuff before. No problem.
[19:43] <dm2912> im a mod on a health site and we got asked to do /amsg from time to time. .had no idea it would spam every server i was logged into lol
[19:46] <arraybolt3> Pretty sure all of us have made similar boffos. IRC likes making errors easy :P
[19:46] <arraybolt3> I haven't managed to accidentally post my password though. Yet.
[19:50] <mmikowski> ahoneybun[m]: I haven't tested that. I can ask around.
[19:51] <ahoneybun[m]> mmikowski I would test that before releasing it ;)
[19:54] <mmikowski> ahoneybun[m]: Are you seeing issue? I don't think my router supports 6E.
[19:55] <mmikowski> bbiab
[19:55] <ahoneybun[m]> The pang12 that we started shipping is rated for Wi-Fi 6 with a 6E card and it sees the networks but it does not connect.
[19:55] <ahoneybun[m]> I believe Intel cards (the pang12 has a Mediatek one) should work,
[19:55] <ahoneybun[m]> Like the AX211.
[19:59] <mmikowski> We think we are shipping only intel cards. AX2xx's.
[19:59] <mmikowski> So we might get lucky there.
[20:00] <mmikowski> However, we did find that a power save mode is being set by default on battery, which might cause dropouts.
[20:01] <mmikowski> ahoneybun[m]: see /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[20:03] <mmikowski> One customer saw the connection dropping with the default setting. Haven't confirmed that is it yet. But changing it from default along with modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 apparently fixed it. We haven't investigated further .
[20:04] <mmikowski> Many others have no problems, so it's just a research ticket for now.
[20:08] <ahoneybun[m]> We have steps about that change too: https://support.system76.com/articles/wireless#antenna-aggregation
[20:10] <mmikowski> Ah, thanks! That's helpful. I was going to mention the IPv6 disable, but that's already there too :)
[20:16] <ahoneybun[m]> Yep!
