Subject: Problem with IW5300
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:56:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BB25756.2040201@lwfinger.net> (raw)

Reinette,

This info comes from an openSUSE 11.3 M4 bug report at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592399
The kernel is 2.6.33 with openSUSE patches, but none of them should touch iwlagn.

The lspci info for this card is:

04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 1121
	Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping-
SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx-
	Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort-
<MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
	Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 31
	Region 0: Memory at f8000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: iwlagn

His problem is that the wireless keeps getting a microcode error and is dropping
and remaking the connection about every 40 seconds. It logs the following:

-- continues on and on ---

Have there been changes that would have fixed this problem, or is this a known
regression? The OP (Cc'd here) reports that it works better on 11.1 (a 2.6.27
kernel) and 11.2 (a 2.6.31 kernel) than it does with this 2.6.33 kernel.

Thanks,

Larry
