Ok, once again. The bug is in the wild. It freezes my laptop quite regularly.

[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"
I don't know if what I got is the same bug. I have an atheros card, and I am using lucid lynx beta. The bug only started affecting after I upgraded. It seems it occurs when I am using system intensive applications such as games, or flash videos. Although I might be wrong. My internet slows down and phy0 starts using about 80 % of the CPU, the uptime gets really high about 4 ~ 5 for a dual core system (AMD Turion X2). I suppose that happens because it involves entering the kernel a lot thus blocking the rest of the system causing a huge load. After just a few minutes on the virtual kernel I get lots of message about ath5k. (Unfortunately I don't have the output right now). The bug always occured when I was not using a VM. Not saying that VMs prevents the bug but simply it is independent from it. If I kill phy0 using command "sudo killalll phy0" it seems to fix the problem mostly but nm-applet will get stuck trying to get still using some CPU power, so I disable the wireless as well. Killing phy0 always stops the wireless (not suprising). If this is a different problem please tell me so I will send a report! -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello Jeremy. I do not have a chance right now to test it, I currently use only ethernet. Please, see my last post. Last time I used ath5k with 2.6.31-17 I had a system freeze. Since the upgrade to Karmic various freezes I get do not tend to leave any traces in the logs: they just spit a some garbled text. This might be a rsyslog issue... The reason, I blamed ath5k was the following: 60% of all the entries (about 10 870 out of 16034 lines) was the this: wlan0: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join The hardwired connection was in use, though the wireless interface was on.

One thing that stands out is the garbled entries in the log. I had it before - very consistently since the upgrade to 9.10! There might be other reasons for these "nice" messages. I think it is just symptoms, not the culprit. I am on my custom kernel now,against which I compiled madwifi, which used to be more friendly to me in the past. I do realize that this issue might not be directly related this bug. What is wlan0 interface in this case?

Long time no see! I think ath5k froze once again. I have been with the latest kernel 2.6.31-17 for quite some time. I know that ath5k was known not like my wireless device for some time. Recently, I thought it changed... Well I did not have obvious problems/hangs using the wireless interface. A problem occurred when the ethernet was used. What I had was a machine hang happened according to the kernlog around 3am, when I was asleep.

Hello, I have an Acer Aspire One and get kernel panics using the default ath5k. I'm currently using an Atheros AR242x Wireless Adapter. I can connect without problem to the wireless router. However, any 100mb downloads or Bittorrent use would either cause a cease in network activity or a kernel panic. I have tried using the latest madwifi drivers, the linux backport modules, and ndiswrapper. All of them cause network activity to cease from prolong use or a kernel panic. I am currently using an archived ath5k module, specifically dated 2009-07-31. I still lose network activity or even get a few disconnects when downloading >100mb or using Bittorrent. On the other hand, with this module, I don't get any kernel panics as of now. By using the archived module, I don't have to be wary of getting a kernel panic, which is a serious problem. I just think it would help as a very loose remedy currently until its fixed. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To add to previous post: The router is a Linksys WRT160N. When you configure the router so that the transmission speed is 1-2 Mbps (for use with wireless technology, old and not "All", which the router can transmit at all speeds wireless) connection improves and The Atheros responds faster and no packets are lost.

I have the same problem. But I found that works or not, depending on the position in which the laptop is located, with respect to the wifi router. It is as if there were cones in the shadows that Atheros does not communicate with the router. Especially being close. It works best to be several meters (3 to 8 meters). I hope that this contribution is helpful. Sorry, but my English is very bad. Greetings Tengo el mismo problema.

Hi again, earlier on, before trying out your kernel packages I upgraded my kernel to the latest ubuntu release "2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux". That still kept on giving me the ath5k floor calibration and timeout error. However, after installing Manoj's kernel packages and uninstalling them, I went back to this ubuntu kernel release. For some reason, it is now working and booting up as normal without any errors. For some reason, ath5k does not seem to be causing any freezes or errors for now. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"
I experience this locking up on a desktop if I don't blacklist the ath5k module. It's new in Jaunty as well. Whilst it did first appear sometime around Jaunty moving from the beta to the release candidate, I also tried the Ubuntu kernel PPA release of 2.6.30rc4 ( http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc4/ ), but the same issues occur. I'm running no non-free or restricted kernel modules. Finally, I encountered noise floor calibration issues in dmesg fairly frequently (I didn't save any of the logs to check) - it was akin to what's reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452491 however, in particular having that error message ("noise floor calibration timeout") I believe verbatim. It spammed dmesg so much that the boot messages in dmesg were gone within a few hours. However, I don't remember whether this also occurred in the working-(Ubuntu-Jaunty- beta)-kernel or whether its appearance correlates with the hard locks starting. relevant dpkg output: ii linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic 2.6.28-11.42 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.28 on x86 ii linux-image-2.6.30-020630rc4-generic 2.6.30-020630rc4 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.30 on x86 ii linux-image-generic2.6.28.11.15 Generic Linux kernel image ii linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-generic 2.6.28-11.15 Non-free Linux kernel modules for version 2. ii linux-restricted-modules-common2.6.28-11.15 Non-free Linux 2.6.28 modules helper script ii linux-restricted-modules-generic 2.6.28.11.15 Restricted Linux modules for generic kernels Abridged lspci information: 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

I'm having a similar problem. I'm using an Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) with the ath5k module. Every now and then, my system freezes, but I don't know if that's the wireless's fault. However, it DOES always happen right when I'm trying to connect, so I think I have reasonable suspicion. Furthermore, every so often, my ethernet simply refuses to connect. It will detect the networks, but it won't be able to connect to any of them, and I get the same messages that you posted. When this happens, resetting only makes the problem worse: all of the networks become invisible. The ONLY way that I have found to fix this problem is to restart, hook the computer up to a network physically, log in, wait for the network to connect, and then unplug. Then, for some reason, my network works again. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"
Since installing Jaunty, I'm getting lockups every few days on my laptop and I *don't* use ath5k. X freezes, no mouse movement, no keyboard, no Alt-F1 to switch to console. So the lockup might have nothing to do with ath5k. One time when it happened, the mouse kept moving though nothing happened under it and the keyboard didn't work, and I was able to login over the network. I looked at the last kernel messages with "dmesg" and saw something about DRI. So it may be DRI is to blame. I don't have Compiz turned on, though. I have an Intel 945GM graphics chipset here, and my wi-fi is iwl3945 (which works very well). I was using a Jaunty kernel before it was released, but with an Intrepid distribution otherwise (except for essential packages needing to match the kernel). With an Intrepid distribution running on top of a Jaunty kernel, I didn't experience any of these lockups. So it's quite likely that it's either not a kernel bug, or a kernel bug which depends on the newer userspace to trigger it. Due to the DRI message I saw once, I vaguely suspect the X server and/or DRI code. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I hope a fix for this is coming soon. I bought an Atheros-based card for my new system specifically because I heard reports that it was working well with Ubuntu... but I get a hard lock whenever ath5k is enabled, either as soon as I try connecting to my AP, or randomly within a couple hours after. I have never had my machine up for more than a couple hours without it hard locking, except when the atheros driver is disabled. Since Wifi provides my only access to the internet, it has rendered my new system useless (unless I boot XP...).

Giovanni, I do not remember the madwifi setup in hardy or 8.10 . However, I do agree about the deteriorated performance of wifi on jaunty. I did not do pings then, so I do not have the figures. Nevertheless, I remember to be able to connect to some open networks at home to which I now cannot. This both with ath_pci and ath5k. It does not seem to be plausible that setup is messed up now. I think this could be something else in the kernel or/and the wifi modules themselves. Can you try running an old kernel which you had with 8.10 or 8.04? Some of your updated modules might not be able to load with that though... This particular bug was filed due to ath5k crashed the my system. Can we file another bug here?

Because of the difference I have created a new bug report for my problem under Bug #350137. You could try installing the package "linux-backports-modules-jaunty". It worked at least in my case.

[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"
Got another crash, although I barely use ath5k. I used to be able to connect to some open wireless networks at home, now I can't but it still kills my kernel once in a while. I think that ath5k should not be allowed in the release of jaunty, since it so buggy and may crash the system. I have had a bad experience with it already, when I could not install Ubuntu 8.10 on a Compaq laptop. One had to blacklist it. I will try to go back to madwifi. It is a pity, it is not open source, however it works and does not freeze my system all of a sudden. As I figured from this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489078, people do not realize how faulty ath5k is (blaming wifi card and so). At the same time I think people here at Ubuntu do not seem to help them to point to this problem. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"
Installing the linux backport modules seem to fix my problem. I think the newer ath5k should be integrated in the Ubuntu kernel instead of putting it into a separate package because of the huge impact.

I am not sure if all have the same bug. I can confirm mine easily through the follow three steps. 1.While downloading the 2.6.29 source code to get the driver my system freezes two times. So starting a big download. 2.Ping your router. Most of the time at least 10% of the packets got lost with 2.6.28. No lost ping with 2.6.29 so far while one or two packets are pretty normal for wlan I guess. 3.Check if the freezes are gone with 2.6.29 kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29/ .

Romain, Check those, that predate the entries 0.00 (with big numbers before "."). Are you sure your kernel gets dead? Also, in order to make sure you have none of my headaches: $grep ath5k /var/log/kern.log Then you will see if there is anything. I suspect in your situation, you got a metacity problem. So you should look for similar symptoms on the net and/or here. And you might want to report a separate bug. Try ssh-ing to your machine when you experience the problem. Hope it helps. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
