Description Kevin Fenzi 2012-05-26 20:51:51 UTC
kernel-3.4.0-1.fc18.x86_64 on a f17 userspace. 

connection comes up fine on boot and works for a while, Then I get in dmesg: 

[ 3696.915129] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Queue 2 stuck for 2000 ms.

The connection goes dead. However, NetworkManger doesn't see this at all, and happily tells me I am still connected and all is well. 

Then, asking it to reconnect to the same AP it says it's already connected to:

And then it works again for a while.

Happy to gather more info or try things out.

Comment 2 Stanislaw Gruszka 2012-05-30 07:56:36 UTC
wd_disable=1 module option should help, another options that worth to check is 11n_disable=1 . 

> 64 bytes from 192.168.21.1: icmp_req=3181 ttl=64 time=48.1 ms (DUP!)
That is a new thing I see with iwlwifi. This ICMP DUP probably mean that we incorrectly increase SEQ number for retransmitted frames, so peer pass two same ICMP payload to upper layer and we get two responses.

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-01 03:11:04 UTC
I'll give wd_disable=1 a go. 

I'd prefer to have N working if possible, since I have this nifty N access point. ;)

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-08 21:48:41 UTC
wd_disable=1 doesn't seem to help any.

Comment 5 John Anderson 2012-06-09 00:14:17 UTC
I can confirm that i'm also having this issue and my access point in not wireless-n

Apparently wd_disable=1 should make those messages gone, check if this parameter is enabled correctly by:

cat /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/wd_disable

They are not in 3.4.2 afaics, so it's no real wonder 3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64 didn't fix the connection problems for me :-/ 

(just posting it here for completeness; 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 [8086:4238] (rev 35); Thinkpad T420, Sandy Bridge)

> These two commits are on their way to fix this (at least so we hope):

I built a f17 kernel with those; see
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4145432

Haven't tested them myself yet, as I'll for the next few hours won't be close to the machine where I see the problem. Cose to mentioned it here anyway, maybe someone wants to give it a try. Use at your own risk; seems the patches were applied, but I'm not doing this every day, so maybe I did a stupid mistake somewhere and the patches were not applied properly.

Comment 11 Thorsten Leemhuis 2012-06-10 11:32:04 UTC
Created attachment 590731 [details]
patch to add patches mentioned ion comment 7 to the F17 kernel package

Just FYI, in case anybody cares, the patch to the kernel package for F17

Seems(¹) they work fine(²) and fix this issue for me.

(¹) I fear the current connection will break ten seconds after I submit this

(²) had some trouble at first, but I guess my Wifi router and or the hardware in my laptop was mixed up. Now it just works fine and I haven't had any problems for nearly two hours(¹)

Comment 13 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-11 00:40:02 UTC
Seems much better here with that kernel/patches. 

Up 6 hours or so where I have been running backups over the wireless... looking good so far.

Comment 14 John Anderson 2012-06-11 01:53:21 UTC
Are there easy commands I can run to try it out as well?

Comment 15 Stanislaw Gruszka 2012-06-11 09:00:51 UTC
Josh, please apply patches from comment 7 as fix for this bug. They are needed on older Fedoras as well, and could fix some other iwlwifi bugzillas.

OK.

F16 should be rebasing to 3.4.2 sometime later this week.  I'll make sure to ask that they carry these patches over.

F15 is going EOL in 2 weeks.  It's not being rebased to 3.4.  I can add these patches there, but they might not make it into a build that gets submitted before it goes EOL.

Comment 17 Josh Boyer 2012-06-11 12:09:15 UTC
Applied to rawhide and F17.

Comment 18 Thorsten Leemhuis 2012-06-11 17:46:07 UTC
Just FYI, the kernels mentioned in comment 10 seem to make things better for me, but I still see problems -- especially when I move my laptop or when the distance to the wifi router is big; for example I encounter disconnection every 20 to 30 minutes when I'm on my balcony, where wifi used to work just fine nearly always with 3.3 :-/

I have no time for debugging the issue further right now, but I just wanted to let everybody know

Comment 19 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-11 18:34:48 UTC
Yeah, I got one hangup this morning here too after many hours of operation... 

So, I think it's _much_ better with the patches, but there's still some issue somewhere.

Comment 20 John Anderson 2012-06-11 21:49:37 UTC
I can confirm if I'm in my room (further away from router) the connection doesn't work at all in 3.4 but if I'm close to the router it works just fine.

In 3.3 it works just fine from my room.

Comment 21 Stanislaw Gruszka 2012-06-12 07:18:06 UTC
We could reopen this bug, but I prefer to do not mix different problems in one bug report, what make mess in comments and increase difficulty to find important information. Please clone this bug report into another one and provide description of that remaining problem there (i.e. step to reproduce, etc).

Comment 22 Otto Meijer 2012-06-14 19:05:14 UTC
I reopen the bug, as I believe it is not fixed. My internetconnection is very unstable (fibre to the home, very fast internet connection.)

I tested the kernel mentioned in comment 10

Comment 28 Roman Kennke 2012-06-17 14:47:09 UTC
This bug is still not fixed for me with 3.4.2-4.fc17, network breaks down every now and then. Even worse, the workaround which used to be wd_disable=1 is also broken now (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831571).

Comment 29 Fedora Update System 2012-06-17 22:22:58 UTC

This issue is definitely not fixed.  Can this bug be re-opened and looked at again?

Something was fixed.

>  Can this bug be re-opened and looked at again?

Quoting comment 21:

"""
We could reopen this bug, but I prefer to do not mix different problems in one bug report, what make mess in comments and increase difficulty to find important information. Please clone this bug report into another one and provide description of that remaining problem there (i.e. step to reproduce, etc).
"""

I agree with that.

Comment 32 Joel Uckelman 2012-06-18 17:13:26 UTC
If another bug is opened, please indicate its number here, so those of us following this bug who still have a problem can find it.

Problems persist, updated my fc16 machine today and unfortunately FC 16 now also suffers from a broken iwlwifi driver :(

David, this is a Broadcom, the bug report is about Intel Wireless networking. Wrong bug

Hi Tom,
I can confirm that, workaround is to restart Network Manager.
I am having that on HP EliteBook 8540w:

[root@guru4hp-fedora hpadmin]# ethtool -i wlan0
driver: iwlwifi
version: 3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64
firmware-version: 9.221.4.1 build 25532
bus-info: 0000:44:00.0
supports-statistics: no
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: no

[root@guru4hp-fedora hpadmin]# lspci | grep -i network
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05)
44:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35)

I have found in post https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785239 that it can be related to N standard, and that workaround can be to disabled N standard on card:

1.create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf with a single line like this:

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

2. Reboot (or "modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi" as root).

Same problem is on all RHEL  based distros: CentOS 6.3 (6.2 after update to latest version), Scientific Linux 6.3, Oracle Linux 6.3.... same card / same notebook.

Comment 41 Alexey Brodkin 2014-09-29 16:59:44 UTC
For me WiFi connection is very unstable in Fedora 20 64bit on HP 8560w even with the most recent kernel - 3.16.2-200.fc20.x86_64.

"11n_disable=1" made connection stable.
