Hej all,

I couldn't find an issue tracker so I am trying here. Essentially my
problem is I get deauthenticated from AP's at seemingly random
intervals, with `reason: 4`.

iwd --version: 3.3
OS: Arch-Linux 6.11.9-arch1-1
Device: Dell XPS 9370
Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 8050
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi
iwconfig:
  wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:"Tronx_Upper"
           Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.422 GHz  Access Point: 22:D2:CC:07:9C:B5
           Bit Rate=65 Mb/s   Tx-Power=22 dBm
           Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
           Power Management:off
           Link Quality=31/70  Signal level=-79 dBm
           Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
           Tx excessive retries:209  Invalid misc:664   Missed beacon:0

The logs from `journactl -u iwd` show this:

This then appears to happen several times, and at seemingly random
intervals. It can be fine for several hours, then there is one
disconnect, or there may be a few disconnects in a short time. As an
example the 28th had this:

My investigations haven't led to much, not having a publicly viewable
issue tracker is certainly not helping. I have found a few other
threads where people have had this issue, however none of the proposed
remedies have made an impact. The one thing I did try was disabling
powersaving by adding this to my config:

~ λ cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlmvm power_scheme=1
options iwlwifi power_save=0

 Any suggestions on where to take this, and let me know if I can
provide you with any further information.

Thanks for making open source software <3
