RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Phil Perry 2011-05-20 20:29:58 UTC 
Looks like this should have happened for the release of RHEL 6.1, but didn't.

Comment 2 John W. Linville 2011-05-24 13:54:39 UTC 
*** Bug 706533 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Alan Bartlett 2011-05-24 15:14:28 UTC 
Note: REGRESSION.

(1) With 6.0, wireless operates correctly. 
(2) Once the OS is updated to 6.1, wireless connectivity is broken. 
(3) Using the f/w available from upstream resolves this issue.

This is a bug which requires fixing now and should not be left for the 6.2 release.

Stanislaw or John -- Do you require any further information?
Comment 4 Stanislaw Gruszka 2011-05-24 15:34:27 UTC 
I just requested dmesg in bug 706533 (Note I have 5300 and 5100, both work quite well here with old firmware ...)

messages output from kernel

Hardware is a Lenovo Thinkpad T500. (Standard issue). Network reloaded itself 600+ times in 24 hours and loses consistently 10% of the packets between it and the router after the update to 6.1

we have this card in house so granting ack
-> qa_ack
Comment 11 Stephen John Smoogen 2011-06-27 17:49:53 UTC 
Hmmm update of the package fixed immediate error of looking for old ucode, but did not fix the network reloads with messages of:

Comment 12 Stanislaw Gruszka 2011-06-28 05:33:41 UTC 
Open new bug report for that problem. Provide messages with debug=0x47ffffff iwlagn module parameter from module load to first microcode error. (Note if dmesg will overrun messages, you'll need to configure syslog to log kernel debug messages, see "Configure syslog to log kernel debug messages" from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DebugWireless).
Comment 13 Stephen John Smoogen 2011-06-28 16:01:13 UTC 
Will do so. Close this ticket?
Comment 14 John W. Linville 2011-06-28 17:42:46 UTC 
Please don't change the state of the bug -- it is being handled by the proper RHEL process.
Comment 16 Jiri Pallich 2012-10-09 12:44:00 UTC 
Since this is a parent bug of an issue that has already been released via Z-Stream (e.g. rhel-6.3.z), this bug is going to be CLOSED as CURRENTRELEASE.
