Recently I've emerged 3.8.13 kernel and now my wireless connection works only a few seconds. After that although wpa_gui shows that I'm still connected in fact I cannot reach any webpage or even ping anywhere. To connect again for another ~5 sec I need to restart wpa_supplicant.

On the same machine with the same network configuration (/etc/conf.d/net, dhcpcd.conf, wpa, and so forth) I still have old kernel 3.5.7 where I do not experience such issue so most probably this is the problem of a new kernel or my misconfiguration of it.
In fact not very much have changed in ".config" since 3.5.7 from my side, here is the diff:

Full .config of 3.8.13 is here.
I've got a broadcom card so wl driver is in use.

Does anyone knows what is going on here?

A workaround may help, although it's not a fix at all; instead of restarting wpa_supplicant, $ wpa_cli scan or wpa_cli scan_result from the commandline reconnects my wifi dongle. (I don't remember exactly which does the job. Maybe any of two does.)

AFAICS 3.9.4 in not in portage tree yet, 3.9.3 is the newest unstable gentoo-sources.
In fact 3.8.13 is the only stable kernel right now. :roll:

My 3.8.13-gentoo kernel is working all right with an Intel wireless-N adapter (mPCIe)... I also used a 3.8.13-gentoo kernel with a b43 Broadcom wifi that appears to work fine too (mini PCI). Both are using networkmanager/Gnome.

same problem here with 2 different PCs, only with this last kernel 3.8.13, I must do "iwlist wlanX scan" twice to get the list of networks in kde4 and connect to them.

both PCs are 64bits

Please obtain more diagnostics:

Quote:
# First set wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-f /var/log/wpa.log" (change wlan0 by your interface) in /etc/conf.d/net, reboot.

emerge net-wireless/iw
iw event -t -f | tee /tmp/iw_events

# Demonstrate the problem, CTRL+C once you captured sufficient events.

dmesg | wgestpate
wgetpaste /var/log/wpa.log
wgetpaste /tmp/iw_events

# Undo the /etc/conf.d/net change and reboot again.


Please also file bugs at https://bugs.gentoo.org as we don't usually monitor the forums for these.

thanks TomWij!
but, I do not use WPA, yes, I should, but right now is WEP, so wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-f /var/log/wpa.log" makes no difference.

And from the iw output I only get this interesting info:

iw event -t -f | tee /tmp/iw_events

first 2 lines without "" is when I do iwlist wlan0 scan.

This makes no sense, I'm not referring to the WPA encryption.

so, networkmanager uses wpa_supplicant too for WEP?

ok then I created the log line in /etc/conf.d/net and testing now to see if I get some logs

thanks!

hi again.
I do not think this logs are gonna tell you anything:

cat /etc/conf.d/net
#Generated by NetworkManager
###### Global Configuration ######

###### Connection Configuration ######
#----------------------------------
config_eth0="dhcp"
auto_eth0="true"
enable_ipv6_eth0="false"

wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-f /var/log/wpa.log"


-------------
http://bpaste.net/show/103560/ dmesg

http://bpaste.net/show/103563/ iw_events


/var/log/wpa.log just does not exists... :
cat /var/log/wpa.log
cat: /var/log/wpa.log: No such file or directory

It just happen with this new kernel, probably is something related to the driver.

$> emerge -pv net-wireless/wpa_supplicant

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-r5 USE="dbus gnutls qt4 readline ssl -debug -eap-sim -fasteap -madwifi (-ps3) (-selinux) -wimax -wps" 1,600 kB

Looking at the dmesg it seems to delay loading the firmware, try to build the firmware into the kernel.

In "Generic Driver Options" you can list them in "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary" and also point where to find them "Firmware blobs root directory" (probably /lib/firmware), you probably want to read the other options there as well. I don't have an idea how the firmware name is called though, so that's something that still needs to be figured out; you can find the firmware files in /lib/firmware, look for b43*.fw files, they could be in a sub directory.

thanks, but the firmware's delay is not the problem for sure, because after a few minutes and after being working right, if I look for networks around in the Kde4 network menu they have all gone except the one I'm connected to.

So it looks like the Networkmaneger or the network menu cannot look for networks, but for sure is something kernel related, because it only happens with this last kernel, and when I do iwlist wlan0 scan (twice or more times, not only one time) I can see all networks around.

So I'm going to check the kernels options again. And try what you said, but I do not think is the firmware.

hi again

I did not do the firmware stuff yet, but I had put b43 as module and debug mode and I thin there is interesting stuff:

http://bpaste.net/show/103777/

as you can see the firmware is loaded a few times, and the card is removed too.

if I unload and load the b43 module I get this:

and I cannot see any network again till I do iwlist wlan0 scan twice, when I run iwlist I do not see any kernel message, but just when I connect the the network I get:

really strange, it reloads the firmware and the connects... but the firmware must be loaded before connecting so I could run iwlist wlan0 scan...


hope this info helps.

Anyone up for doing a bisect to find the bad commit?

Please report this bad commit at https://bugs.gentoo.org and I'll look into it.

I switched to 3.10.1 and bcma/brcmsmac module. It works fine apart from LED.
There is also small issue (error output) with lspci:
Code:
$ lspci -vvv > /dev/null
pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: Connection timed out

which, as far as I googled about, is related to bug in firmware (I'm using sys-kernel/linux-firmware for this module).

Anyway 3.10.1 + bcma + linux-firmware is the best configuration for me, at least it works on every network which I have tested.
