This has been reported heavily in f16, where we're using compat-wireless-3.3-rc1. There are some patches floating around to fix some issues, but I don't know which is needed to fix this nor when it will show up in rawhide. 3.3.0-0.rc2.git3.2.fc17.x86_64 wireless has gotten much worse to the point where wireless is mostly non-functional. The fixes for both the functionality and the log messages may be http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1202.0/01789.html which haven't been pulled into the main tree yet. Updated Rawide to use a later compat-wireless snapshot. Please attempt to recreate with kernel-3.3.0-0.rc2.git3.3.fc17 (or later) kernels, and report the results here. Using 3.3.0-0.rc2.git4.1.fc17.x86_64 The strange and continuous error messages have gone away. More importantly, wireless has been rock solid. This is the first 3.3 version where wireless has been dependable.... thanks. (I'll leave this open for a couple of days to see if there are other me-too's) I spoke too soon... it still looks like something is scrawling Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: [12857.804124] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Queu1 tc o 00 s Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: 3[25.016 wwf 000:00 urn Wra_t 9wiepr17<>187846]ilii00:30.:CretH edpr5 rt_t 1 Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: 3[25.023 wwf 000:00 ndmn imaerla Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: 6[90.037 f821 5300Kz-5300Kz@400Kz,(0 B,30 B)derri:3d3e8s:ffe6c0err0i igi-..o031.[3d0001c0]e 1sukfr100m.<>187843]ilii00:30.:CretS edpr5 rt_t 1 Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: [12857.814737] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: 3[25.026 wwf 000:00 urn Wra_t 9wiepr17<>187847]ilii00:30.:O eadfrwr eod<6>[12857.816166] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Enabled; Disabling L0S Feb 6 18:07:15 localhost kernel: [12857.822752] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Radio type=0x2-0x2-0x1 Hmmm...ok, I didn't read this correctly at first. So something is corrupting the output in /var/log/messages ? Thats...wierd... Could you attach your complete /var/log/messages file here? Created attachment 559975 [details]
/var/log/messages
Only the iwlwifi messages are corrupt. You'll have to scan the log to see them since even the "iwlwifi" prefix is missing.
In the last day of using 3.3.0-0.rc3.git2.2.fc18.x86_64 I haven't seen any corrupt output. Still getting Feb 12 07:45:00 localhost kernel: [31190.893492] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Queue 2 stuck for 10000 ms.

Closing this since the original problem is gone. Either there is another bug related to the firmware reload, or someone can make a new bug. |
