Ciao Stefan,

Thanks for the prompt feedback. Please find enclosed a log file containing about 1hr of debug messages. Hope that helps.

All the best

Greetings,

This is one of my hardest reports, since both the symptoms and the overall
context are rather obscure...

On a Thinkpad T430 (complete dmesg in attachment) equipped with a Intel
Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card I'm experiencing periodical hiccups
(meaning that the system seems to freeze for a few tens of milliseconds,
this is particularly evident when moving the mouse, typing or watching a
video); it seems that the culprit is the wifi interface (i.e. if I switch it
off or simply force it down using ifconfig, the problem goes away).

In 7.0 I see a lot of "iwn0: Fatal firmware error" messages, and this is
what is reported after enabling the debug mode:

iwn0: fatal firmware error
firmware error log:
   error type      = "SYSASSERT" (0x00000005)
   program counter = 0x00002A9C
   source line     = 0x000002C1
   error data      = 0x0000000000000000
   branch link     = 0x00002A7600002A76
   interrupt link  = 0x0000153200000000
   time            = 165

These firmware crash reports cannot be made sense of without Intel
proprietary information which we do not have access to.
We will need to figure out which behaviour of the driver triggers
this and then work our way out from there.
So it would help to see more context from debug mode, such as whether
state transitions ocurred (SCAN -> AUTH, and such) right before the
crash. These messages also appear in /var/log/messages where they have
timestamps which might help with correlating events.

We might have to add some debugging code to the driver to obtain
more information about this issue.
But please send a complete debug log first.

Cheers,
Stefan
