Description of problem: When starting a network connection (Broadcom ethernet card, Atheros WLAN card, D-Link PCMCIA) the connection stays on for a few minutes and then stops. With eth the connection comes back with ifup/ifdown. When the wlans lose the connection, they still can perform scans, but they can no longer connect to the ap. When replacing the new F7 kernel with the last one from FC6, ie 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6, the problem no longer exists. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: boot with 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and connect to a network with eth or wlan Actual results: connection drops after a few minutes or immediately with heavy traffic Expected results: connection should not drop Additional info: none
Hi, i have the same problem with a fresh install ( and also with live cd ) of F 7 x86_64. Using the zd1211rw driver, after few minutes i lost the connection with Ap and i have to reboot the machine. Thank you.
I have the same problem too with F7 x86_64. It is using Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.3.20-k2-NAPI. After the boot eth0 gets IPv4 from my DHCP service. After few minutes eth0 goes down because it's unable to renew the address. If I try an ifconfig up the process hangs up. When I shutdown the machine it hangs up (probably when it tries to shutdown the network and I have to switch-off. when it disconnects it writes this on the log: Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab NET[3325]: /sbin/dhclient-script : updated /etc/resolv.conf Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab dnsmasq[2557]: reading /etc/resolv.conf Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab dnsmasq[2557]: using nameserver 1.253.128.11#53 Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab dnsmasq[2557]: using nameserver 1.253.128.34#53 Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 Jun 3 16:27:36 ilochab dhclient: send_packet: Network is down Jun 3 16:27:38 ilochab kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 10 Mbps Half Duplex, Flow Control: None Jun 3 16:27:38 ilochab kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO Jun 3 16:27:38 ilochab kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready Jun 3 16:27:39 ilochab dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 Jun 3 16:27:46 ilochab dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13 Jun 3 16:27:59 ilochab dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17 Jun 3 16:28:17 ilochab dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17 Jun 3 16:28:33 ilochab dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 Jun 3 16:28:36 ilochab dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
I have the same issue with 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and zd1211rw_mac80211 / Sagem USB thingy from Orange. Was particularly noticeable when downloading a lot of yum packages on install. When just browsing the web, not really an issue (took longer to disconnect.) When nm is trying to connect it does report a detected duplicate address. modprobe -r ... && modprobe ... resolves this temporarily - and the time to next disconnect is pretty random.
This is also happening to me with a Belkin USB wlan adapter (F5D7050) using the zd1211_mac80211. Output from dmesg before the network goes down: wlan0: duplicate address detected wlan0: duplicate address detected security: 3, users, 6 tolrd, 1817 types, 79 bools, 1 sens, 1024 cats security: 60 classes, 67748 rules zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 zd1211rw_mac80211 5-2:1.0: zd_chip_control_leds error -110 wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:18:4d:06:8e:2a (reason=2) wlan0: deauthenticated wlan0: TKIP decrypt failed for RX frame from 00:18:4d:06:8e:2a (res=-1) If I try to follow instructions in comment no.3, nothing happens. In all cases I have to reboot to reconnect to the network. The annoying thing is that I can still see the wireless router in NetworkManager!

Problem persists with newest kernel (2.6.21-1.3228.fc7), so I had to keep using 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 - which keeps the connection on forever :-)
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem has gone away then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug.
