Description

I think we need more debug information from the driver and/or mac80211, which we might not be able to get without debug kernels. But the kernel guys would know more. At this point, it seems like a kernel driver problem, given that wlan0 is clearly trying to associate with the correct AP but failing, and that an rmmod solves the issue (probably by re-initializing everything). Does Fedora provide a debug kernel I could install? I'm willing to try to assist in figuring out what is causing the problem. By trade i'm a Java programmer, however I've done C programming in the past for a point-of-sales system for one of the big 3 pizza companies. I've been using Linux for quite some time now, and I'd love to contribute to help find an issue and possibly fix it. I know you need more information, can I install a debug kernel and somehow modprobe the driver with gdb or something along those lines? Please try the 3.3.2 kernel update. There is a know ath9k regression in 3.3.1. # Mass update to all open bugs. Kernel 3.6.2-1.fc16 has just been pushed to updates. This update is a significant rebase from the previous version. Please retest with this kernel, and let us know if your problem has been fixed. In the event that you have upgraded to a newer release and the bug you reported is still present, please change the version field to the newest release you have encountered the issue with. Before doing so, please ensure you are testing the latest kernel update in that release and attach any new and relevant information you may have gathered. If you are not the original bug reporter and you still experience this bug, please file a new report, as it is possible that you may be seeing a different problem. (Please don't clone this bug, a fresh bug referencing this bug in the comment is sufficient). With no response, we are closing this bug under the assumption that it is no longer an issue. If you still experience this bug, please feel free to reopen the bug report. |
