Bug#556009: ath9k disassociates from 2.6.32-5

2010-10-26 Thread Ian MacDonald
Thanks Ben; I expected that was the case based on policy. 

Contrary to my expectations, this is unresolved upstream for my hardware
combination in STA mode.  I've included some details on my additional
tests upstream.

After disabling power management (which I suspect may have already been
turned off by default), no change with this issue.

There is no specific fix for 2.6.32 as it seems to have resolved itself
in the current kernel release and from the comments, it appears the
developers were unable to bisect to the specific commit possibly due to
build problems over the range where the problem was introduced. Knowing
this issue is pegged to Debian stable might help move that effort
forwards so I'll post upstream as well.

Would an ath9k update be considered/possible at this point if a build
against current source resolves this issue?

Bug#556009: ath9k disassociates from 2.6.32-5

2010-10-20 Thread Ian MacDonald
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-5
Severity: important

After upgrading to Squeeze, my ath9k is dropping its connection
intermittently.

My hardware and issues matches a bug that is apparently resolved in
current linux vanilla (per upstream comments), however persists in the
current squeeze 2.6.32-25 images.

The issue is consistent with my syslog, my hardware, and my observation
that this occurs under some load (rarely when idle) per upstream

Bug#489990: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64: b43 Error loading microcode following Hibernate

2008-07-08 Thread Ian MacDonald
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64
Version: 2.6.25-6
Severity: normal

Although my architecture is different(AMD/MCP51), I am experiencing exactly the 
problem described in #482153.

My broadcom device is

 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)

After hibernate, I receive the following message.  Unloading b43 results in a 
hard lock-up.
Reboot seems to be the only way to re-enable the wireless card.

 b43-phy0 ERROR: Microcode not responding

As shown below, my firmware is the latest (4.150.10.5)

 [   11.484587] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found
 [   38.422374] input: b43-phy0 as /class/input/input10

 [   40.021596] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx
 [   40.021639] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio

Prior to 2.6.25 an RTC bug prevented any kind of hibernate stability on my 
hardware (dv9000z), so there are
not many options for other AMD/HP Pavillion 9000z users.

Suspend S3 works great every time.

cheers,
iMac
