Description Gerard Ryan 2024-02-14 19:22:32 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
Connection dropping very frequently, which never happened on older kernels. I need to turn off my WiFi in GNOME settings, then turn it back on again to succeed, but it'll happen in a short couple of minutes again. If I don't do that, then I'll be prompted for the connection password but when I hit the connect button it will still fail. Here's what's printed to dmesg when it occurs (full logs will be attached):

Feb 14 17:59:07 kernel: wlp4s0: AP is in CSA process, reject auth
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: deauthenticating from a4:2b:b0:02:1c:00 by local choice (Reason: 2=PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID)
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: 80 MHz not supported, disabling VHT
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: authenticate with a4:2b:b0:02:1c:00 (local address=50:76:af:46:a9:d3)
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: send auth to a4:2b:b0:02:1c:00 (try 1/3)
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: authenticated
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: associate with a4:2b:b0:02:1c:00 (try 1/3)
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: RX AssocResp from a4:2b:b0:02:1c:00 (capab=0x1c11 status=0 aid=1)
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: associated
Feb 14 17:59:08 kernel: wlp4s0: deauthenticating from a4:2b:b0:02:1c:00 by local choice (Reason: 1=UNSPECIFIED)


2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
kernel-6.7.4-200.fc39

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 :
kernel-6.7.3-200.fc39

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
a. Install either 6.7.3 or 6.7.4 kernel-{,modules,modules-core,modules-extra,core}
b. Boot into system
c. Notice that after a short period of time (or immediately), the wifi connection will drop, and (in GNOME at least), a password prompt will appear to enter the connection password.

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``:
I installed kernel-{,modules,modules-core,modules-extra,core}6.8.0-0.rc4.20240212git716f4aaa7b48.35.fc40.x86_64 from Koji (rather than adding the rawhide repo using the steps above). The good news is that it _doesn't_ appear to be happening with this version. So as per the title of this bug, it's specific to the 6.7.z versions that are built in Fedora so far (6.7.3, 6.7.4).

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

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.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2024-11-13 12:03:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 39 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 39 on 2024-11-26.
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
'version' of '39'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 39 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 4 Aoife Moloney 2024-11-27 22:56:42 UTC
Fedora Linux 39 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-11-26.

Fedora Linux 39 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 Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
