[Bug 1234512] [NEW] "ath: phy0: failed to stop TX DMA" lines pop up randomly, shutting and opening lid goes back to working system

 

Public bug reported:

I get this issue randomly when using my system (13.04 64bits on Asus
F201E, up to date with proposed repos). It started about a week ago (not
sure exactly though).

The system randomly shows a screen with lines more or less saying the
following:

ath: phy0: failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x00... !
ath: phy0: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=... AR_DIAG_SW=... DMABG_7=...
ath: phy0:  Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up.

The ellipses point out variable values or strings I could not be
bothered to write down.

To get back to a working system, I just have to close the lid of my
laptop and open it again. I can then use it normally, until it happens
again.
