description |
The WiFi adapter Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I is quite unstable on Ubuntu 18.04. I do not have data relative to previous versions of Ubuntu since this PCIe card is part of a new build that has had 18.04 as the first installed version.
The reason why I can point the finger at the Linux kernel is that the card seems to work reliably well on Windows 10 (no packet loss when pinging the local router). On Ubuntu 18.04, the card's behaviour seems very correlated to the signal strength and exhibits a threshold phenomenon. With the antenna placed in an obstacle-free area, some ping packets are occasionally lost. But when some objects are placed near the antenna (e.g. a phone), the packet loss can get up to 90%. Under the very same conditions, the packet loss on Windows is exactly 0 (and the RTT never gets above 500ms).
I have disabled the WiFi power saving (changed from 2 to 3) but that didn't fix the problem. It seems that restarting the NetworkManager service helps for a bit, but after a while the problem resurfaces.
The card in question has onboard USB Bluetooth and is pretty much an M.2 to PCIe x1 adapter for an Intel Wifi adapter. The relevant output of lspci is
