Putting a laptop to sleep while connected to a secure wireless network, then waking it up again, caused the bug.

This bug occured after resuming my laptop from Suspend to RAM. Other than that, I can't say for certain what has caused it.

Comment 9 John Greene 2013-04-12 12:04:18 UTC
Can someone reproduce this and upload some logs taken during this time, namely,
/var/log/messages or dmesg, and if possible the /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log.

Can anyone reproduce this *without* suspend / resume being part of the process?

This log, starting with boot up on Feb. 7, seems to show an instance of the warning message occurring without a suspend/resume.

Comment 12 Greta Watson 2013-04-20 19:04:59 UTC
Kernel was 3.7.3 when I got the message on Feb. 7, 2013.  Fedora 17.  KDE.

Today, the broadcom wireless adapter is having other problems.  I cannot connect wirelessly.  The system asks for the password, and it is entered correctly.  A couple minutes later, the system asks for the password, and it is re-entered correctly.  A couple minutes later, ....  And so it goes forever, without connecting to the internet.

I have obtained and am using an external wireless adapter which uses Ralink chip rt5370.  So far, it has not generated the message.

Comment 13 Greta Watson 2013-04-22 15:37:05 UTC
The internal wireless card, using the broadcom chip, appears to be non-functional.  I have blacklisted the driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (blacklist brcmsmac), deleted the wireless profile from Network Manager, inserted a usb wireless adapter, and re-created the wireless profile in Network manager.  This allows me to connect wirelessly, but makes it impossible for me to provide any more information on this bug.

I have been unable to recreate this bug using the usb wireless adapter.  It uses the rt2800usb driver for the Ralink 5370 chip.

Comment 14 John Greene 2013-04-23 14:01:37 UTC
Gretta: 

Are you using the bluetooth part of this device?  Might be good to disable it if so and see if that helps any.

Also, I don't see what kind of machine this is:  Make / model?

I see this in the logs, looking into it now.  Might have some bearing on power managment might not, but having the make/model number will help:

Comment 15 Greta Watson 2013-04-23 17:36:04 UTC
Laptop "peewee" is ASUS 1015pem, with Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g wireless.
Usually, I use the wireless whenever I turn on the machine, but use bluetooth only occasionally.

I tried the following, after removing the brcmsmac driver from blacklist.conf and removing the external usb wireless.
1.  Reboot and try to connect with the broadcom wireless.
    FAIL:  no connection; repeated request for password.
2.  Reboot, enter BIOS, disable bluetooth, continue booting.
    SUCCEED:  connected properly.
3.  Reboot.
    SUCCEED:  connected properly.
4.  Pressed power button to cause hibernation, then pressed it again to wake.
    FAIL:  repeated request for password.  Won't connect.
5.  Shutdown with cleaning of /tmp, /var/tmp; restart
    SUCCEED:  connected wirelessly
6.  Put machine to sleep using the menu item; pushed power to wake it up.
    SUCCEED:  connected properly.
7.  Hibernate (using command line); wake up.
    FAIL:  repeated request for password.  Won't connect.
8.  Sleep, using menu; wake.
    FAIL:  repeated request for password.  Won't connect.
9.  Reboot
    FAIL:  repeated request for password.  Won't connect.
10. Shutdown; restart
    FAIL:  repeated request for password.  Won't connect.
11. Shutdown, with cleaning of /tmp, /var/tmp; restart.
    SUCCEED:  connected properly.
12. Repeated steps 4-9.
    Result:  same in steps 4-8; reboot from menu caused success.
13. Reboot; enter BIOS; enable bluetooth.
    SUCCEED:  connected wirelessly.

The only conclusions I can reach from this is that hibernating the machine causes a subsequent repeated request for password that won't cease until one or more reboot or shutdown/power up sequences have been done.  Also, since my last test was with bluetooth enabled, bluetooth may not affect this.

In none of the above tests did the WARN message  about brcmsmac appear.

Comment 16 Greta Watson 2013-04-24 03:45:14 UTC
Tried some more testing, variants of the above, with either hibernation or sleep.  The WARN message has not reappeared at all.

Thanks for the suggestion to turn off the bluetooth.  Although I got failures and successes with bluetooth on and with bluetooth off, the testing gave me a better understanding of when the connection problem occurs and how to keep from getting it.  If I get the WARN message again, or if I get different behavior from the broadcom adapter, I will post again on this bug.

Comment 17 John Greene 2013-04-24 13:03:02 UTC
Great testing work, Greta..
I'll check into the BT issue, haven't seen anything in regards to this directly, but I'll look into it some more.

Does this solve your issue?  We can close this issue, and revisit / reopen later or open a new issue if so.

Comment 18 Greta Watson 2013-04-24 14:41:19 UTC
At this point, I cannot recreate the warning message that is the title of this bug, so am fine with this bug being closed.  However, there are other people who have seen this bug.  Is anyone still seeing it, with kernel 3.8.4?

The issue with the broadcom wireless not behaving after hibernation is a different issue, which I will report once I determine if it occurs using wicd as well as Network Manager.  There does not seem to be an existing bug on that.

Comment 19 John Greene 2013-04-26 12:58:26 UTC
Good point Greta.  Glad you are in a better place.  

Anyone else still have issues the above has not fixed?  I'm willing to keep this open if so.

This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 2 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.
