Just installed Fedora 20 with latest updates and see the same in logs when turning the wifi on:

The period is exactly 10 seconds.

Comment 3 Michal Kovarik 2013-12-12 08:49:32 UTC
I have same issue:
NetworkManager[898]: <error> [1386837907.436677] [rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c:194] send_rs(): (wlp3s0): cannot send router solicitation: -101.


Wifi device wlp3s0 is not connected:

Comment 4 Dan Williams 2013-12-18 22:39:13 UTC
This is likely because NM is not waiting for a link-local address, which is required.  This was recently fixed upstream as bgo #707155 and should get into Fedora builds soon.  Unfortunately it's not very easy to backport that specific patch, but perhaps we'll end up doing that.

Comment 5 Hedayat Vatankhah 2014-07-07 01:22:40 UTC
I got lots of such messages in my system log while WiFi not connected to any networks and even when WiFi is off! It is really annoying and filling my logs:

 <error> [1404696044.709908] [rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c:230] send_rs(): (wls3): cannot send router solicitation: -101

If it cannot be properly fixed in Fedora 20, at least IMHO this specific message should be muted, instead of filling my disk and cluttering system log.

Comment 6 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 15:05:30 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

i have reported this upstream and it was fixed on the same day:

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:25:27 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
