    i was having problems connecting to wifi, it simply just wouldn't connect to after sleep.
    so i looked into the power settings and found this option "turn off wifi to save power" and disabled it, thought it would help but things got worse.
    now that option isn't even available in the power section of settings.

    Please show us:

    Code:
    lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3
    lsusb
    Please check for any options to enable/disable wireless in the BIOS/EFI.
