Raspberry Pi 3 loosing wifi - busy status

[mgouin]

Thanks for the script I'll try it.

However, I remember last time it hang, I found the option in XBian to click the shutdown button, then select exit. This way, without network connectivity, I was able to login directly on they Pi with the TV screen to try reconnecting it live.

I had tried the following with no success:

Terminal

sudo ifdown wlan0
sudo ifup wlan0

Next time, I'll try with "-a" flag and see if it helps...

Also, if it can help: the output of "ifconfig" when disconnected vs operational is identical (except for rx,tx byte count).

However,
iwconfig operational (I prepended stars to lines only present when up):

Code:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"mgmg"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 68:15:90:3A:1B:7E  
*         Bit Rate=72.2 Mb/s   Tx-Power=31 dBm  
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
*         Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-38 dBm  
*         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
*         Tx excessive retries:477  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

iwconfig down is:

Code:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"mgmg"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 68:15:90:3A:1B:7E
