Description Marcin Zajaczkowski 2019-06-13 17:00:52 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:

Booting Hyperbook NH5/Clevo NH55RCQ there is an error in the system logs:
> kernel: iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: BIOS contains WGDS but no WRDS

Except for very poor connection speed (ping 100ms+ on local 5GHz link) which needed disabling power management as a workaround:
> sudo iwconfig wlp0s20f3 power off
the card seems to work fine.

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
kernel-5.0.9-301.fc30.x86_64
kernel-5.2.0-0.rc3.git2.1.fc30.x86_64 (rebuilt from SRPM)

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

Not in Fedora 30. I haven't tested it with previous Fedora versions.

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Just boot the system.

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

Tested with kernel-5.2.0-0.rc3.git2.1.fc30.x86_64.

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

No.

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Comment 1 Justin M. Forbes 2019-08-20 17:39:37 UTC
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 30 kernel bugs.

Fedora 30 has now been rebased to 5.2.9-200.fc30.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 31, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 31.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 2 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2019-08-20 20:53:00 UTC
Yes, with the latest 5.2.8-200.fc30.x86_64 I still see the following errors in my system logs:

Comment 3 Mikhail Zabaluev 2019-11-27 11:23:13 UTC
As instructed in comment #1, updating the Fedora version.

This is still observed with kernel 5.3.11-300.fc31.x86_64.

Other ABRT reports associated with iwlwifi pop up, but the kernel is already tainted.

Some relevant dmesg excerpts:

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 14:18:29 UTC
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 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.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 15:17:21 UTC
This bug was accidentally closed due to a query error. Reopening.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 15:18:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 10 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2020-11-04 22:08:11 UTC
I personally don't observe it in Fedora 32 with 5.9.1-300.fc33.x86_64. I will check with also with kernel-core-5.8.16-200.fc32.x86_64, but the upstream bug also seems to be marked as fixed - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205513

Nevertheless, other commenters, feel free to change "Version" to Fedora 32/33 if you still have that error, to prevent its closure.

Comment 11 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 16:56:49 UTC
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 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.
