Pi3 Keeps Freezing When Data is Flowing Through the WiFi Ports.

[monkeybus]

My Pi keeps freezing when plenty of data is flowing through the ports

SOLVED.

Fixed it, I went old school and deleted network manager, then went with wpa_supplicant to handle all my wifi connection needs.

This post says it all, worked a charm, here you are -

No more freezes, no more problems at all.

Happy hacking, folks.

Another edit -

I couldn't leave it alone, so I:

1. Re-installed NetworkManager:
   

   sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager

2. Then I removed WICD:
   

   sudo apt-get autoremove wicd wicd-gtk

3. I then rebooted
   .
   
4. Confirm everything is working, then I removed WICD config files (though nothing to remove):
   

   sudo dpkg --purge wicd wicd-gtk

   In retrospect, seems my problem was installing WICD.
   
   That's it, no problems, only solutions.

Hello folks,

First post from me, here we go...

I think that Network Manager is my problem.

From the beginning, Kali would freeze after several hours of use. Could be 10 minutes, could be a couple of hours. I was using it on the road, tethered to my phone, whatever I was running via SSH would freeze, Wifite, Besside-NG, whatever. I thought it has crashed,

No route to host

So I did the only thing I could, I yanked out the power cable.

I've looked at the problem for a week now, it isn't the Pi uptime, it isn't a random error. It happens if I run plenty data through any of my wifi ports.

I plugged in the HDMI and watched on my TV, complete freeze. everything up, just frozen. ctrl + alt + Fx does nothing.

Also, if the Pi is up, and I click to change to a different access point, the wifi goes down, I get device not ready, but

 ifconfig

reports they are all there.

systemctl NetworkManager start

does nothing, but

service network-manager restart

brings back the networking, but it'll connect to one AP, i click to change to another and then it all goes down again.

I have thought it could be that my USB power adapter cannot handle the Alfa dongle sucking up all that juice to pump out them packets, for on the road I have a huge battery, forget the specs, but it is plenty big (that's very technical, isn't it?)

What's to do? I don't want to take the cowards' way out and reinstall. It'd be murder reinstalling all the dependencies again.

Nah, I'll fix it. But how?

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks a lot, folks. Talk to you all soon.
