Advanced ATHEROS issue [12.3, ath9k, 64bit] Frequent Random de-auths

dragoncast · March 19, 2013, 8:02pm

Okay I am having a completely infuriating issue with my wireless on my laptop. Let me outline the issue.

I have a thinkpad with an atheros wifi card. Here is what lspci tells me about it

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5008E 802.11(a)bgn] (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

I have an extremely irritating problem of it randomly de-authorizing from networks. (as you can see in the dmesg output link below, line #1076)
It happens most frequently on 5ghz N connections but will happen on 2.4ghz connections as well. it seems completely random, and when it deauths, you cannot reconnect until you rmmod the ath9k module and reload it, or physically turn off the power to the card and turn it back on again. Sometimes, but not all, killing wpa_supplicant will fix it, albeit temporarily. If i open up wavemon, i can watch the link quality and signal strength fluctuate wildly ALL OVER the map, from zero to 100%. It does this extremely quickly and with great frequency whenever traffic is being sent or recieved over the card.
Now for the fun part, this problem has persisted through upwards of 5 different kernels, and a ‘zypper dup’ from 12.2 to 12.3. I have tried everything i can think of, and every tweak and config setting i’ve seen come up on google. nothing helps. I am at a complete loss. From what i could find, i am lead to believe that it could possibly be a bug in the atheros drivers. Another thing to note is that it may only take place when i am connected to a wpa2 secured access point, but i am not 100% sure on this point.

If any more information is necessary, just ask and i’ll gladly oblige.

Obviously, no one has any answers for you.

Compiled and installed wpa_supplicant 2.0 to replace the 1.1 pack-in on 12.3. Problem still seems to exist, though not nearly as badly as before.

Same problem here on a hp655 Laptop. Since i cannot switch manually the power off, i have to reboot. Worst of all: Sometimes, also randomly, the whole system hangs. Only hard reboot helps in such case. I m not sure, is it a Knetwork manager problem, a problem of networkmanager or a problem of the ath9k driver…

gerrygavigan · April 21, 2013, 6:35pm

I have been experiencing this on 12.3 32 bit - I thought it was a KDE issue:

https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=110889

I won’t cross post the discussion but yes I’ve got the ath9k on a (new, two months or so) Acer Aspire One and wi-fi was working fine

I might have brought this on my own head (in full disclosure mode)

With the original kernel 3.7.10 I was having suspend and resume problems because of the gma500 graphics, someone somewhere suggested upgrading the kernel so I added the stable repository and 3.8.x delivered on suspend and resume. Earlier this week, after an automatic iteration to 3.8.7 (8?) (yes, I know, but…) the problem started.

My original assumption was that it might have had something to do with a wireless extender (which, apparently, has its own problems).

Today, I repartitioned my hard drive and did a clean install of stock 12.3 and sat my AAO by the router with the wifi extender switched off - no luck

I have a copy of the fresh var/log/NetworkManager (470 lines…) if that is of any use of anyone but doubt it would be user friendly to post it all here

Is there a possibility that something in the wi-fi stack has damaged the ath9k? I’m just guessing because I can’t think of anything else

gerrygavigan · April 21, 2013, 6:59pm

Getting to the end of this thread suggests it could be a power issue with the ath9k (IIUC)

[SOLVED] Atheros wifi card: problems connecting to wifi (Page 1) / Network / The Chakra Project - Forums](http://chakra-project.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?pid=53615)

Replacing a wifi card is not a big deal but it would be nice to know if that one was going to get damaged before I started


iw reg get
country 00:

         (2457 - 2482 @ 20), (3, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (3, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (3, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (3, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS

iwlist wlan0 txpower
wlan0     unknown transmit-power information.

           Current Tx-Power=16 dBm       (39 mW)

and then there’s this suggesting it’s a country code problem

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137234

leading to this

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=114808#p114808

Does any of this make any sense?

Further research

Re: [ath9k-devel] Country code setting issue

Additionally, most card have 00 in their eeprom which means “default”. Personally i would interprete “default” as “ask cfg80211” or “dont give a driver hint”, but some braindead programmer intrepreted it as “United States”. If you get the message when loading “EEPROM indicates default country code should be used”, iw reg get will show you US! The most easiest fix for this case is to look for reg->country_code = CTRY_UNITED_STATES; in drivers/net/wireless/ath/regd.c and change it to your country from regd.h.

drivers/net/wireless/ath/regd.c looks like something to do with compilation

And finally:

BUG 54881 Wifi does not work with 3.8 kernel

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54881

but I still don’t really know what to do

gerrygavigan · April 21, 2013, 11:01pm

now unclear that it is an ath9k problem - another Acer Aspire One with an Intel Centrino card - first Linux install wiping (unused) Windows with openSUSE 12.3 - same problems with wifi

If you read that bug report carefully, some distro failed to enable the Atheros
drivers in the configuration. It is not relevant to openSUSE!

I think your problem is due to that WARNING that you post, but I cannot tell.
Please post the entire output from the “cut here” line all the way to the “end
of trace” with no interruptions, and no comments in the middle.

On my current 3.9-rc7 kernel from wireless-testing, I cannot even find a warning
that is anything like what you post. The routines have been changed a lot. You
should install the latest compat-drivers/compat-wireless package for your
kernel, or try the 3.8 kernel for openSUSE.

Thank you for replying

I’m struggling to understand what to do - I didn’t first experience the problem until I installed the 3.8 kernel (as I wrote, since we’re throwing around “read carefully”) even though I now experience it with the 3.7 kernel (which is a bit of mystery in itself)

also when I took a look at opensuse bugzilla there seemed to be relevant problems logged there too - so really no need for exclamation marks either - I’m just trying to identify as much information as possible for the experts

The full dmesg is not warranted. In addition, do not post any more of it unless
someone else asks for it. Now that I have seen the full dump of the warning, I
know that it is unable to set up the phase locked loop circuilts (PLL). Without
that, the receiver will never work correctly.

If kernel 3.8 does not fix the problem, it is certainly possible that the bug is
still in the current code. My ath9k device works correctly, but it is only one
model. You should report that WARNING dump and the output of ‘lspci -nn’ for the
ath9k device on linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org. That way the Atheros developers
will see it. If the problem has been fixed, they will know what kernel you need.

I had no plans

Now that I have seen the full dump of the warning, I
know that it is unable to set up the phase locked loop circuilts (PLL). Without
that, the receiver will never work correctly.

In which case there appears to be two problems as the AOO with the Centrino wifi card isn’t working either

And the bigger mystery - contained in an earlier post - until I upgraded the kernel on the ath9k AAO - the wifi card was working (possibly slightly unstable on long streams) but downgrading to 3.7.10 kernel (including a reinstall starting with re-partitioning) didn’t work

Is there a possibility that the 3.8 kernel has overwritten something in the atheros EEPROM that the 3.7 doesn’t change back?

I’ve just installed 3.8.8.1 from openSUSE stable on the Centrino AAO with no success

I can’t find the compat-drivers/compat-wireless

gerrygavigan · April 22, 2013, 2:12pm

on the AAO with the Centrino card I restored 3.7.10 because I found the compat-wireless - unfortunately the netbook then failed to boot - I think my next step will be to downgrade to 12.2 to see if that works

This does not happen.

Following your advice, thank you btw, I’m getting help from the ath9k developers including

Some register values can only be written to once. Writing to them
again without a power cycle doesn’t change anything. You need a power
cycle.

If any of these registers were adjusted when you were testing
different kernels, you may end up having that old setting affect the
new (or old) kernel.

I tracked my problems back to the router - there’s nothing wrong with the ath9k driver - the wireless network extender (which I originally suspected to be the cause
of the problem but confused me when I removed it) appears to have either written (or I did it and forgot that I did) “wireless isolation on” in my netgear - random resetting of that without the wireless extender cured all problems
