I use iwconfig
to show me some information about my current internet connection like this
$ iwconfig
wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"eduroam"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 06:0B:6B:2E:A7:80
Bit Rate=6 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm

lo no wireless extensions.
In the past these information were updated each time I ran the command. Lately, the information remain the same from the beginning of the connection. The same applies to what I get via cat /proc/net/wireless
. What may be the reason for this and how can I fix it?
