Bug#1030914: firmware-brcm80211 causes system to freeze and reboot

2023-02-09 Thread Mathirajan S. Manoharan 
i installed 20230117-2 from unstable. Also installed 
20221214-5
 from the archive.


Both have similar issues on my system. For a moment everything looks fine and 
wifi starts working. In a few minutes the system freezes and after a little 
while it reboots.


I managed to capture just a little more information from dmesg this time before 
the system froze

Bug#1030914: firmware-brcm80211 causes system to freeze and reboot

2023-02-08 Thread Mathirajan S. Manoharan 
Package: firmware-brcm80211
Version: 20221214-5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: mathi...@hotmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

My system has the following network card
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43225 
802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)

If i install the firmware for this card (firmware-brcm80211), the system 
freezes and reboots by itself.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

install the firmware with the command "sudo nala install firmware-brcm80211"
This causes the system to freeze and reboot.

I could not even collect any logs. When the system boots up, "dmesg" is clean. 
There are no errors.

Please let me know if there is somewhere else i should be looking for logs, 
errors and useful info to troubleshoot this issue.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Installing the firmware gets the network card to work. But in a short while (1 
min approx) the system freezes and reboots.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expect the system to funtion normally and not freeze/reboot

hi Salvatore,

Thank you for your prompt replies.

The system hang is unpredictable. When it reboots after the hang, there are no 
errors on "dmesg".
How and where can i find the relevant logs, errors which could help to 
troubleshoot this issue?

regards,
-Mathi

yes can you please fill a new bug for this issue, please make sure to
attach as well kernel dmesg from the system, ideally if we catch the
error.

Thank you very much. I was able to install this package firmware-brcm80211 to 
get the wifi card working on my pc.

But i'm running into a strange problem now. The system freezes and reboots 
after a few seconds. I have never experienced anything like this with Linux 
past several years.

If i boot into single user mode and uninstall this package firmware-brcm80211, 
the system functions normally.

If i install firmware-brcm80211, this makes the system unstable. The system 
freezes and reboots.

Should i file a new bug for this?

regards,
-Mathi

It is in bookworm, but it moved to the non-free-firmware archive
component (cf.

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I'm using bookworm as my desktop OS. I have the following wireless card.

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43225 
802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)

This card is not working. It displays a message that "Firmware is missing".

information about missing firmware
[   60.594859] brcmsmac bcma0:1: firmware: failed to load brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw (-2)


i already have firmware-linux-free, firmware-iwlwifi, firmware-misc-nonfree 
installed on my system. None of these have the file brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw

I also tried installing "firmware-b43-installer". This also didn't install the 
required files. So, the wifi card is unusable on bookwork.

I found that the package firmware-brcm80211 has these files, but it is not 
present in bookworm repo
