I have been running Endeavouros on my Macbook Pro 2011 for a couple of years now. It has been a great solution for breathing some new life in this machine.
I keep having this problem with my Wifi dropping randomly though. I have to reboot the machine, in order for the Wifi to be back up.
Sometimes the wifi will drop randomly, but there also seems to be a pattern of it happening when it’s under heavier load. Like when I am updating, I have been resorting to doing it via cable lately, for the wifi not to drop on me mid update.
Also the wifi seems to drop, when I wake up the machine, after a “hibernation”.
I suspect it might be the Wifi drivers, or maybe a power saving issue?
I am still a newbie at linux, so bear with me.
This is my inxi -FAZ --no-host output:

Hope some of you gurus are able to help me diagnose it, or point me in the direction of how to solve this. Much appreciated!
