[Bug 1571535] Re: iwlwifi restarts randomly in xenial

 

No change with an upstream kernel, I'm afraid.  It lasted about 30 mins.

$ uname -a
Linux anduin 4.6.0-040600rc4-generic #201604172330 SMP Mon Apr 18 03:32:32 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It did log something that I hadn't seen before, this time:

Apr 19 10:01:27 anduin kernel: [   23.775807] wlp1s0: authenticate with 00:8a:ae:c9:9a:d8

So, it seems to be switching between the different network connections
(first 2.4MHz then 5.2MHz) when it does this.

Title:
  iwlwifi restarts randomly in xenial

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Recently installed xenial on a Lenovo Yoga 2-13 (Intel 7260 wifi
  card).  On wily it worked perfectly, on xenial it regularly appears to
  restart the wifi connection (the end result is that I lose any vpn
  connections, as they don't seem to notice the restart, but that's
  another issue).

  In general use, I get periodic "wlp1s0: WPA: Group rekeying completed"
  messages in syslog (and used to get these in wily, too), but now,
  after a random amount of time (over the weekend it was several hours,
  this morning it was about 10 minutes, so it might be related to the
  amount of network traffic) I get "kernel: [13983.248157] wlp1s0:
  authenticate with 00:8a:ae:c9:9a:d8" (presumably my wifi router) and
  the usual wifi startup stuff including frequency lists, etc.

  It also always logs "systemd-udevd[30319]: Process '/sbin/crda' failed
  with exit code 249." every time (I'm not sure if this is relevant)

  After reading old, but similar bug reports, I've tried changing some
  of the module options: "11n_disable=1" and "11n_disable=8", but these
  had no effect.  I've also tried the older firmware that wily used
  (/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-13.ucode), but again, no improvement.
