[Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did this issue just start happening after a recent kernel update?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.14 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  [ath9k_htc] 14.04 NetworkManager hangs after 'ath: phy0: Unable to
  remove station entry for...'

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This problem has been happening randomly since I installed 14.04.
  Today it happened twice while trying to zsync the latest iso.

  I use a TP-Link TL-WN821N wireless adapter to connect to the internet,
  which uses the ath9k_htc module. NetworkManager occasionally locks up
  to the point where any commands I try to kill it or restart it hang as
  well, and my only way out is REISUB. Right before it happens I have
  noticed twice in my dmesg:

  [  494.896048] ath: phy0: Unable to remove station entry for:
  f4:ec:38:ec:42:02 For reference that mac address is the default router
  I connect to daily.

  and then shortly after we get a kernel dump for NetworkManager:

  [  720.752078] INFO: task NetworkManager:850 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

  I don't know how to reproduce it, but it has happened at least five
  times since the install last week. I will attach the dmesg I took
  before the last REISUB to the bug. Please let me know if any more
  information is useful, I'll try to get it next time it happens.
