Occasionally my laptop will just loose all wifi connectivity. Running dmesg at those moments provides this output: [ 1588.714014] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Error sending REMOVE_STA: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5 [ 1588.714017] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed to remove station.

Id=1

and running sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi results in this:

[ 1588.961411] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed sending remove station [ 1597.465190] Intel® Wireless WiFi driver for Linux [ 1597.465235] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 1597.465342] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: HW_REV=0xFFFFFFFF, PCI issues? [ 1597.465353] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5

I’m unsure on what this means and how to procede. Any advice?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
