Description Peter H. Jones 2015-12-15 23:28:01 UTC

Description of problem:
"A kernel problem occurred, but your kernel has been tainted (flags:GC). Kernel maintainers are unable to diagnose tainted reports. Tainted modules: r8712u"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-core-4.2.7.200.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Sometimes, booting with wifi enabled and a
TP-LINK TL-WN8200ND connected to a USB port

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot

Actual results:
Kernel oops, differing MAC addresses reported in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log:
"wlp0s26f7u4: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:3a:9a:ab:5a:a0 (SSID='Place_Dupuis' freq=2462 MHz)
wlp0s26f7u4: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:3a:9a:ab:5a:a0 (SSID='Place_Dupuis' freq=2462 MHz)
wlp0s26f7u4: SME: Trying to authenticate with b8:62:1f:ac:f2:30 (SSID='Place_Dupuis' freq=2437 MHz)
", fails to connect

Expected results:
Easy internet connection

Additional info:
There are several postings on the internet reporting difficulty with this adapter in Linux.
Willing to provide dmesg output and lspci/lsusb, but only if requested, as this kernel is reported as tainted.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 18:36:20 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.
