Hi Chris, Thanks for your message. The wifi continues to be associated with access point, and I can ping 1.1.1.1 as well. My USB wifi interface is rtwn(earlier urtwn) It is just that DNS queries fail, even when 1.1.1.1 is accessible, at least to ping. Is it possible that UDP communication is failing? Is there any log information that can shed more light on the issue? thanks, Sreenath On Friday, March 15, 2024 at 12:48:47 AM GMT+5:30, Chris <bsd-lists@bsdforge.com> wrote: On 2024-03-14 00:12, Sreenath Battalahalli wrote: > Hi, > > I have been using freebsd as my primary OS on my ACER laptop for many years > now. > My laptop has 802.11AC card for which there is no kernel driver available.

I'm going to suggest that this might be a symptom of your usb port/hub hanging-up/ disconnecting due to inactivity. Your BIOS setup may have a setting associated with that. OTOH I don't know what NIC driver you're using for your USB network adapter. When you discover you can't perform DNS lookups, are you still associated? eg; does the output of ifconfig still show associated? What are the settings in rc.conf(5) related to your network setup? > > Thanks, > Sreenath HTH --Chris
