| Apr 28, 2016 at 20:04 | comment | added | Mejmo | Exactly the same problem. If I run battle.net app, which is downloading stuff with P2P, I get disconnected.. after 3 re-connects within 20 seconds, it is always disabled and I cannot turn it on - I must restart the MBP. Did you find the solution? | |

| Feb 29, 2016 at 14:19 | comment | added | Allan | Nope. My iMac suffers with some WiFi issues, but I fixed it by running a CAT5e cable through the wall that went to my switch/router. My g/f's 2009 MBP has wifi issues as well - it will just drop connectivity. She went for the cable solution, too. Since our Macs are bound to our desks it's not much of an issue for us, but her daughter's MBA (when it's not being repaired for liquid damage) seems to work fine. It's an OS X issue | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 14:12 | comment | added | flindeberg | @Allan So there is no way at all to verify integrity of drivers? With regards to issues like mjtsai.com/blog/2016/02/28/apple-blacklists-own-ethernet-driver that seems really smart :) Ty for your help though :) | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 14:07 | comment | added | Allan | Because they came with OS X and you are on a MBP; as such they are the ONLY drivers available. Apple is the only company you are going to get drivers from that work with OS X and you can't get individual drivers from them. | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 14:03 | comment | added | flindeberg | @Allan See the kextstat / lsmod output, how exactly do I verify that I have the correct drivers? | |

Added kextstat output

| Feb 29, 2016 at 13:31 | comment | added | Allan | What specifically would you like to see on the Mac that you can on a PC? Your peripherals on the PCIe bus work the exact same way they do on a PC. As far as WiFi goes, the issues are well documented: [MBP Wifi Search Results][1] [1]: bing.com/… | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 13:24 | comment | added | flindeberg | @Allan So there is no way to have a closer look at firmware / drivers / etc? I was googling a bit but found no relevant resources when it comes to Mac firmware. | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 13:03 | comment | added | Allan | A Mac is a "normal PC." If you want to rule out the OS and verify that it is a H/W issue, install Win7 or Win10 on a Boot Camp partition and do what you were doing that initially caused the problem. | |

| Feb 29, 2016 at 7:15 | comment | added | flindeberg | @Allan The south bridge normally is in charge of IO, ie wifi, usb and everything connected to external anything. | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 7:13 | comment | added | flindeberg | @Allan Something internal seems to be restarting, if it was a "normal PC" I'd say it was an issue with the south bridge, either physical or firmware, which makes it restart every now and then. I do not now if MacBooks use the common north / south bridge setup. I'll update the question if it's unclear. | |
| Feb 28, 2016 at 23:58 | comment | added | Allan | I am not sure what you are asking here. Is your Wifi dying or is it your USB? | |
