I've had it running for a while now and it also appears to be stable so far.Īdditionally, someone in the thread linked above also recommends disabling Bluetooth Collaboration in the advanced driver settings, as well as a registry change which will help with the 'BCM42RLY service failing to start' thing you also see in the event log. Other than that, if you're up for it, try the newest Broadcom package from Station-Drivers. After a lot of googling, I've found that the newest ASUS 2.1.1.4/.5 driver package (7.35.315.0 is the Broadcom chipset driver version) is what is causing it. The systemd documentation covers many of these details.If you're like me and have this Wi-Fi card, then you might have noticed random BSODs, NetworkUXBroker crashes leading to system freezes on Wi-Fi channel changes, disconnects, 'WLAN Extensibility has stopped' flooding the event log etc. There are many more twists to all this, including access control (with Polkit), various available hooks, kexec, sudden power-off handling, Ctrl Alt Del handling. This typically includes notifying all users that a shutdown is in progress, shutting down all the running services (in a managed way with systemd using shutdown scripts in various forms with sysvinit), syncing the mounted file systems, possibly unmounting them, killing all remaining processes (with the usual TERM then KILL sequence), and finally calling the kernel’s reboot system call with the appropriate parameters. Once pid 1 has been asked to shut down, it follows its configuration and specification and goes through all the appropriate steps for it. Various signals can be used to request a shutdown, reboot, etc., in various flavours it’s also possible to request this over d-bus (the busctl manpage explains how to explore that).

Systemd supports a variety of ways to do this. See the init manpage for a brief overview. Sysvinit does this by using the /run/initctl FIFO to communicate with init, asking it to switch to the corresponding runlevel. With both sysvinit and systemd, shutting the operating system down starts by notifying the init process (the process with pid 1) that the system should shut down (or reboot, or power off).
