This most likely happen because iwlwifi firmware crashes and driver restarted it. Please attach full dmesg for this bug report (with the warning). You can find it in .cache/abrt/spool/oops-{DATE}/ or in /var/spool/abrt/oops-{DATE}/
Created attachment 714659 [details] dmesg from .cache/abrt/spool/oops-2013-03-13
Microcode error preceding a warning.
FWIW, I just sent a patch that will avoid the WARNING when the fw crashes. Of course, fixing the fw crashes would be better, but the reset flow exists for that very reason that the fw might crash from time to time and we want to reset the NIC quietly. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-fixes.git/commit/?id=2d5d50ee596361566f7f84300117cba7d7672bc5 In this specific case, it seems that the fw got stuck at some point and I can't really say where... How reproducible is that?
Patch from comment 4 is included in 3.8.10 kernel: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=415091 Is the problem reproducible on that kernel?
Or better please test this kernel http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5317525 It include additional fix: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi?id=63b77bf489881747c5118476918cc8c29378ee63
Sorry, had some crazy family business for the last two weeks, so my response has been a bit delays. I am now running kernel 3.8.11. Haven't had the issue in quite a while. Do you still want me to test the 3.8.10?
3.8.11 does not include fix from comment 6, but test kernel build with that fix was already removed, so please continue testing on 3.8.11 .
I assume this issue was fixed by patch from comment 6 ... closing bug.
