Title:
Marvell 88W8797 wifi (module mwifiex) does not work on Surface Pro
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've been running Ubuntu 14.10 on a Microsoft Surface Pro. After some
initial problems (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1165938) (fixed
by kernel updates I guess) the wifi was working fine. Since the
upgrade to 15.04 the problems are back: I can connect to a wifi
network, the connection is working for a few seconds but drops right
after. I attached the relevant entries in dmes.log.
I tried installing the marvell firmware from git://git.marvell.com
/mwifiex-firmware.git, that didn't change anything. I also tried the
mainline kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc1-vivid/: the connection is again working for a
few seconds but the whole system hangs afterwards.
