Hi,
I have debian 9.6, kernel 4.9..9-7amd64 and an acer aspire v371.
I have one sometimes wifi and tons of errors when shutting down. only restarting helps. What to do? I am an utter noob, how can I post the relevant log?
Thanks!

See journalctl(1) for details of the logging system and how to filter the output.
To post it here, copy&paste the output and use code tags to aid readability.

Perhaps check if the wireless card is seated properly in the socket? It may have worked loose somehow.

Why don't you just ID the device and look it up on the net?
Sometimes there's a button or key combo that turns wifi off, and they usually are either hard to find, or right in the wrong spot where you can hit it accidentally.

Maybe the hotkey combo to turn off the wi-fi is somehow on a hair trigger, too?
If you have another operating system installed, such as Windows, installed, does the same problem occur when you nudge the machine? How about about in a Debian (or other Linux) Live session from a USB stick?

https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi
Look for the HowToIdentifyADevice... links and once you ID the device you know how to narrow your search from " no wifi" to "no wifi on specific device"
