Im using Arch and NetworkManager to handle my connection.

I can connect fine at boot but randomly at some point inevitable point it will just stop. NetworkManager shows I am still connected but Firefox, VPN, ping no longer work.

I have a bigger problem but I am looking atleast for a temporary solution. As it stands, I have to reboot and it seems to be my only option.

The only available commands I know of are:

ifup mlan0

and

ip link set mlan0 up

The first is not available on my distro and the second doesn't help.

Are there any other possibile commands I can try? At least to save me from rebooting everytime it stops.
