Created attachment 770503 [details] oops screenshot Description of problem: After upgrade to F19 I'm getting oopses and freezes all the time, if connected to one particular wifi network.

You have 2 distinct issues. Severity first: The oops is you have a picture of is helpful to start, are you able to upload the crash log? Info that would be very helpful immediately PRECEEDS this dump.. This is usually saved in the crash log if you have the kernel debugging setup up. Does /var/crash exist? If not, some details about doing this are here, will hopefully make the camera unnecesary since it appears easy to reproduce (can you confirm that?). You might need to disable wifi and use ethernet to set this up. Second, and less of an issue are the tx phy errors, I'm working on a patch today to mute the volume of them..
I recognize the screen snapshot. I first encounter it on 6/17/13 with f19-beta-x86_64. Some casual research with public networks I encounter leads me to cautiously say some networks are more prone to it than others. So much so as to once again, cautiously say specific router models and brands, (setting also, maybe) are more prone toward it than others. I don't have the crash report. I'll put enabling it on my queue.
Joseph,Karel, If someone can reproduce this a couple pieces of data will help in ongoing investigations: can someone help? get associated. reproduce the issue, then upload the output of the following 2 commands: iwconfig iwlist scanning. This will help isolate the AP configuration and see if anything helps isolate this and other related issues. Thanks in advance!
Hi Karel, John, I've a short circuit method of reproducing this, as follows: > cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts > ifup ifcfg-dhcp At one location kernel panic is for sure. I've not collected any data yet. Joe
Thanks for the update Joseph. Do you know the make/model of the AP at the in-laws? If it's like mine, something quite old from my history.. ;) Might help a bit to know that.

Created attachment 779109 [details] iwlist output Good Morning All; I'm having a power breakfast with my friend Ronald. (Mr. McDonald) What's an AP? The first attachment is the iwconfig output.
Joseph, Love breakfast there. AP is for access point, another name for wireless router. Ok, you are connected to a Cell 01 - Address: 00:0F:8F:7E:EE:C2 Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=70/70 Signal level=-36 dBm Encryption key:off ESSID:"attwifi" Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 11 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=0000071728611dfc Extra: Last beacon: 11ms ago IE: Unknown: 000761747477696669 IE: Unknown: 010882840B0C12961824 IE: Unknown: 03010B IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: 32043048606C IE: Unknown: DD06004096010102 IE: Unknown: DD050040960303 IE: Unknown: DD1600409604000207A4000023A400004243000062320000 IE: Unknown: DD180050F2020101020003A4000027A4000042435E0062322F00 Looks like a Cisco/Linksys, since it's attwifi, probably what ever ATT provides them. Interesting that encryption is off. 802.11 b/g no 802.11n I'd have to dig a bit further to be sure. It appears this AP isn't configured to be using 802.11n or if it's even capable of it. If you can connect to the AP and check it's configuration and enable 802.11n, you problem maybe fixed, that is, if the wireless router supports 802.11n. Can you check this first? Maybe the easiest to get the wireless router model number and google it for info and see if it lists 802.11n support.. Can you check that?
I picked up my mail yesterday, and have been thinking on this sporadically today. The access point from the iwconfig listing, incorrectly labeled in the attachments is provides the access point and ESSID. wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"attwifi" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:8F:7E:EE:C2 Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=19 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off If I'm reading correctly your instructions offer a possible solution if I could configure the wireless router at McDonald's. Wireless tools give me access to my wifi card, but not to router's configuration. Now if it were my own Cisco wrt160 that'd be a easy. Let me think on this some more if I'm not going off on tangent way off yonder, else correct me if I'm that for off. joe
Is the AP above at Mickey D's or your folks? Yes, Ronald probably won't let you config his router.. He's funny that way. The one above just doesn't look like it's offering 802.11n and therefore no ampdu, which is causing your messages.
Created attachment 782356 [details] hostname: sunbird, file: results of running `iwlist scan' Good Morning Folks; John, sorry stuff to do this morning, or I'd have brought my clown friend Ronald's coffee for the both of us. I believe it is Mr. Volny with the problem hardware; my relatives are all good hardworking people with outstanding wireless equipment. I don't have any kernel panics connecting wirelessly at McD's either by the way. Where I am at now, a branch of the New York Public Library where I hide-a-way to get work done causes me all sorts of connection problems. This is the only branch of the NYPL where I have problems connecting. I've just now installed f19, the release 32 bit version with Gnome desktop. Selected NYPL form the drop down list on the upper right hand corner of the desktop and lockedup my box. If I boot to the command line only, and do: > cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts > ifup ifcfg_Auto-NYPL I'll get the kernel panic dump exactly the same as the screen snapshot Mr. Volney provided earlier. I'm working on these instructions: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_kdump_to_debug_kernel_crashes and I'll keep you informed. Have a good weekend joe

(In reply to Joseph Pesco from comment #12) > I believe it is Mr. Volny with the problem hardware; Mr. Volný doesn't own that AP, please be patient until I'll get to its vicinity again, then I'll do more testing
Guys this appears to be close a duplicate of BZ 989269. The chip vendor is working to gather info for a fix: some patches there might help you gather info for them to fix. Check this out: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989269
Created attachment 786754 [details] hostname: sunbird, config file fyi, custom kernel built from the config attached and is unaltered from the srpm still panics. My destination is to obtain a crash log, though now not till after looking into 989269 in more deatail.
After installing and booting with kernel-PAE-3.10.9-200.fc19.i686.rpm oops is no longer an issue. (Thanks!) See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989269
