This is the weirdest thing i seen.
Essentially, I'm used to turn off internet completely (without relying on graphical tool given they can still reconnect sometimes or because i don't want them using ram for nothing) by doing:
Code: Select all
killall -9 wpa_supplicant dhcpcd
This works great, and i can always reconnect by just calling wpa_supplicant the way i have in one of my script...problem isn't reconnecting to it, it's that, IT STILL WORK even with both of those process gone...
I even tried to also terminate netmon* (netmon_wce and netmon_wpoll) but it still works...
Of course, it does disconnect at some point, but the fact that it still somehow still work even for 20 minutes is weird to me.
As usual, any suggestion or thought is appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention but:
- this is on a live install without save file
- this is on default setting (no modification)
- this is while using only wifi, no ethernet
- and yes, i did preemptively checked if any of the process i already mentioned (wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd, netmon_wce, netmon_wpoll, etc) wasn't still running, which they weren't
- I mostly used ping (to 8.8.8.8 and google.com) and palemoon (made sure to reload pages or watch videos which weren't buffered/cached) to see if internet was still working
