[Bug 1575321] Re: brcmfmac: Direct firmware load failed

 

Cruz Fernandez, this report has nothing to do with bug #1594614. Your
WiFi functionality works fine, while the original reporter has an issue
with WiFi not working intermittently.

Also, as is noticed in lspci.txt, you have a different subsystem of WiFi
(among other hardware components), which would help account for the
difference in behavior.

Title:
  brcmfmac: Direct firmware load failed

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've upgraded kernel from pre-release linux-
  image-4.4.0-18-generic:amd64 to linux-image-4.4.0-21-generic and am
  now getting random Wifi failures (was stable before)

  Those leave traces like the following in dmesg

  brcmfmac 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for
  brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt failed with error -2

  Usually rmmod brcmfmac && modprobe brcmfmac successfully load the
  driver, and wifi is functional once more
