[Bug 1281729] Re: 8086:4238 [Lenovo ThinkPad T430s] iwlwifi using 802.11n associates with access point but network is unreachable

 

Behaviour has not changed after BIOS update. Right after I wrote comment
#4, I lost the network, but cycling wifi via nm-applet brought it back.
Things seemed to otherwise work yesterday, but this morning after resume
from suspend it was back to the same: associated with my AP, but pages
in browser do not load. I then ping the AP and get "unreachable".

Title:
  8086:4238 [Lenovo ThinkPad T430s] iwlwifi using 802.11n associates
  with access point but network is unreachable

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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. According to dmesg, iwlwifi is
  associating with the access point just fine, but if I ping the ap, I
  get "netowrk unreachable".

  WORKAROUND: 11n_disable=1

  After associating, dmesg report:
  # dmesg |tail

  But network is unreachable.
