[Bug 1281729] Re: iwlwifi using 802.11n associates with access point but network is unreachable

 

** Description changed:

- Similar to and possibly related to
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1034740 but my
- problem is a little different. While the above bug appears to connect
- and then slow down eventually failing with packet loss, my problem is
- almost the opposite. If I can connect, it seems to work fine
- indefinitely, but initial connections (after suspend, or right after a
- reboot) only occasionally works. Sometimes, if I wait long enough the
- connection starts working after several minutes, sometimes it works if I
- turn off wireless and turn it back on, but often it just never works.
+ While the above bug appears to connect and then slow down eventually

- According to dmesg, iwlwifi is associating with the access point just
- fine, but if I ping the ap, I get "netowrk unreachable".
- 
- My device "Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 3e)" works
- fine on 802.11g networks or on an 802.11n capable AP if use module
- option "11n_disable=1".
+ WORKAROUND: 11n_disable=1
  
  After associating, dmesg report:
-
