Public bug reported: This on a fully updated Lucid amd64 system:
My Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN suddenly stopped working after an upgrade to the generic 2.6.32-17 kernel. It used to work flawlessly, with the iwlagn module, up until (and including) 2.6.32-16. It seems NetworkManager thinks there's still a connection, but there really isn't. Disconnecting and reconnecting, I can sometimes get it to work again, but only for a few seconds - sometimes even fractions of a second, it seems. Also, this is easily reproducible: it happens whenever I boot into the 2.6.32-17 generic 64-bit kernel. A few details: ifconfig: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1f:3b:59:03:83 inet addr:192.168.0.199 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21f:3bff:fe59:383/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:312 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:769 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:259528 (259.5 KB) TX bytes:77698 (77.6 KB) iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"dlink" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.472 GHz Access Point: 00:1C:F0:B8:C2:21 Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-30 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 pan0 no wireless extensions. lshw -C network *-network description: Wireless interface product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:10:00.0 logical name: wlan0 version: 61 serial: 00:1f:3b:59:03:83 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlagn ip=192.168.0.199 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn resources: irq:30 memory:e4000000-e4001fff And this is the network related stuff I could find in dmesg up until wireless had stopped working: [ 24.049175] iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27k [ 24.049178] iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2009 Intel Corporation [ 24.049259] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 24.049267] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 24.049315] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN REV=0x4 [ 24.070484] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: [ 24.070487] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) [ 24.070490] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 24.070492] (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 24.070494] (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 24.070496] (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 24.070498] (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 24.127098] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 19 802.11a channels [ 24.127169] alloc irq_desc for 30 on node -1 [ 24.127171] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 24.127193] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: irq 30 for MSI/MSI-X [ 25.120957] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 25.122037] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode [ 25.183775] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: loaded firmware version 228.61.2.24 [ 60.270216] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 by local choice (reason=3) [ 60.270259] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 (try 1) [ 60.472537] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 (try 2) [ 60.476985] wlan0: direct probe responded [ 60.476988] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 (try 1) [ 60.478737] wlan0: authenticated [ 60.478758] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 (try 1) [ 60.482453] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=2) [ 60.482456] wlan0: associated [ 60.488850] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [ 70.810051] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present [ 407.032288] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: iwl_tx_agg_start on ra = 00:1c:f0:b8:c2:21 tid = 0 [ 657.257865] CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec ProblemType: Bug AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
