[Bug 1421366] Re: wifi works unstable

 

Summury.
1. Kernels beginning at 3.13.0-41 are buggy kernels
2. 3.13.0-40 works fine.
3. with upstream kernel 3.19 the bug is not reproducible.


wifi works fine with 3.13.0-40-generic kernel after this kernel beginnig at 3.13.0-41-generic wifi works unstable, time to time internet connection is lost.
Also wifi is not upping after sleeping or hibernation with kernels somewhere beginning at 3.13.0-41. So if someone has similar problems try to go back to 3.13.0-40 kernel.
But really problem with not upping wifi after sleeping and hibernation is not reproducible with 3.13.0-41 or hard reproducible. But it is easier reproducible with 3.13.0-45. Kernels between 41 and 45 I did not tested for not upping wifi because I already have faced unstable wifi with 40 kernel that is enough to move to and stay on it.
And of course errors I mentioned in this issue appears with kernel beginning 3.13.0-41 and including 3.13.0-41. Here they are:
 
[   28.076699] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x82000000.
[   47.038298] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x2000000.
[   90.230594] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x2000000.
[  153.073963] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting 0x2000000.

So it seems there is a regression bug in 3.13.0-41. 
I have installed upstream kernel 3.19, got these warnings
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-1.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-1.fw for module r8169
 
I ignored them. After reboot everything with wifi works well.
No errors in dmesg and internet is stable.

Bug description:
  Hello!
  My wifi works unstable. It means network goes down time to time. And it makes me crazy. I am not sure where to find a cause but I found strange errors in dmesg
