RE: Strange inconsistant WiFi network behaviour

["Ryll, Jan (GED-SDD2)" <Jan.Ryll@bshg.com>]

Hi,

there are WiFi routers like AVM which are implement the WiFi Stack in a stricter way than other routers or other WiFi chips-firmware.
I mention this cause weh ad some issue with a cypress wifi firmware which leads to "sometimes" disconnect from routers. And we figured out that this was mostly the case with AVM. We are in contact with AVM in it turns out that the AVM router work proberly. The issues was with the cypress chipset firmware. Now we are in contact with cypress and they accepted the issue.
So it is not always a connman problem :-) .

Best regards
Jan

Subject: Strange inconsistant WiFi network behaviour

Hi,

I have 2 iMX6 devices running uBlox Lily WiFi, mrvl firmware sd8801_uapsta.bin in kernel 4.19.75. In my office, a WiFi router is just 1 meter away, the WiFi signal should not be a problem. One device could connect to the WiFi router well and stably, one could not, here were error messages:

[  408.990029] ieee80211 phy0: mwifiex_cfg80211_sched_scan_start :

Both devices were installed the same firmware and software, if it was firmware / software issues, both would not be able to connect to WiFi, as one device could connect to the office WiFi router well, it could not the WiFi router problem either.

If I move the faulty one to my home, it could connect to my home WiFi, so the device does not have WiFi problem, that is really confusing, what could cause that kind problem and how to debug and fix it?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
