Description of problem:
Hello. I have been having reliability issues with my wireless chipset for the past few kernels, and the message
kernel: [31516.832262] iwlwifi 0000:25:00.0: GF was set with SGI:SISO
kernel: [31516.832270] iwlwifi 0000:25:00.0: GF was set with SGI:SISO
kernel: [31516.834615] iwlwifi 0000:25:00.0: GF was set with SGI:SISO
gets spammed to the log at an alarming frequency (as you can see, on the order of milliseconds). My connection frequently cuts out and I can only recover using the rfkill switch, but while it is working those messages get spammed in the background for a a while (hours if I'm lucky) before it finally dies.
My /var/log/messages is 56 megabytes in only a few days, almost entirely the "GF was set with SGI:SISO" message.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35)
kernel-3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64
iwl6000-firmware-9.221.4.1-3.fc17.noarch
The current 3.4 kernel also has this problem, I'm just not using it right now
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe iwlagn
2.
3.
Actual results:
Connection flaky, cuts out
Expected results:
More stable
Additional info:
I don't really know what other info I can provide here besides my kernel messages, but would gladly help more if given direction. Thanks mr linville for your hard work.
Also I'm not sure if it's related, but I also sometimes get messages like this:
[25936.495727] iwlwifi 0000:25:00.0: Queue 11 stuck for 2000 ms.
[26124.207573] iwlwifi 0000:25:00.0: U iwl_send_cmd_sync Current CMD queue read_ptr 30 write_ptr 31
Same problem here, (probably a result of a kernel update to 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64).
0000:03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 [8086:4238] (rev 35)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 3x3 AGN [8086:1111]
It may indeed be a result of some interaction with other wireless devices as described in the link above.
