[Bug 251252] Re: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-21-generic causes kernel panic when unloading Intel Wireless driver

2008-12-04 Thread Leann Ogasawara
Hi Everyone,

This bug was originally about a kernel panic when unloading the iwl3945
driver.  Based on numerous comments (comment 62, 72, 73, 75, 76, 78, 79,
and 80) this appears to be resolved so I am marking it as such.  If you
are experiencing any other issues, please open a new report(s).  It's
helpful to the kernel team if bugs target one specific issue against a
specific set of hardware.  Some of you may also want to track bug 250211
regarding the led constantly blinking.  I'll also close the linux task
opened here as comment 92 (currently the last comment) notes this not
being an issue for Intrepid.  Thanks.

** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu)
   Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Status: Confirmed = Invalid

I had to uninstall the latest backports-modules because the new
iwl3945-driver (wireless) included is just too buggy, breaks radio kill
switch, breaks hibernate, causes weird interrupts errors, and so on.. At
least on my hardware. Went back to the older one included with the
standard kernel, and it really works fine, so there is no reason for me
to install backports (guess I'm lucky) ..

2008-10-20 Thread Øyvind Stegard
New ipw3945-driver seems to handle radio-killswitch rather poorly. When 
enabling the kill-switch, my system log gets spammed with the following message 
every two minutes:
...
Oct 20 13:42:58 blackelf kernel: [10667.455406] iwl3945: Radio disabled by HW 
RF Kill switch
Oct 20 13:42:58 blackelf kernel: [10667.455512] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device

:03:00.0[A] - GSI 17 (level, low) - IRQ 21
...

Also, I've gotten problems with hibernate that seem related to new
ipw3945, but nothing conclusive there, yet. I will file a new bug
report. Just thought I'd get the initial feed-back in here, since many
people are watching this.

2008-10-17 Thread Luks911
Marcus,
I read the same problem in Ubuntu-es forum, with that kernel update in Hardy 
and a Compaq Presario F700 (with Atheros AR5007EG).
The aparently solution is:
- Boot in recovery into kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
- Uninstall de madwifi driver with:
   - cd madwifi_directory (madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007 or another version, like 
madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6)
   - sudo make uninstall
- Then install de linux-backports-modules for your kernel version. With this 
package you can use the wifi using the ath5k driver: run 
-  sudo modprobe ath5k 
if it's necesary.

[Bug 251252] Re: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-21-generic causes kernel panic when unloading Intel Wireless driver

2008-10-15 Thread Marcus
I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to kernel 2.6.24-21
this morning.  I posted a question (48094) seeking a solution for this
issue.  It has never happened in previous upgrades.  Below is a copy of
my question:

When I ran update manager this morning (10-15-08) my system upgraded to
the kernel 2.6.24-21. Upon reboot my athi wifi card was no longer
working so I reinstalled the madwifi files  rebooted again. When the
system rebooted it stoped just short of the end on the status bar  the
Caps Lock key light began to flash.

FYI-I am able to boot up using an earlier kernel (2.6.24-19) so this
problem appears to be related to the kernel upgrade. This problem is
also described in Bug 251252 but I saw no resolution as this is a new
one problem due to the recent upgrade.

I am running 8.04 on a Compaq Presario 700 notebook.

Below are the steps  outputs (where indicated):

- Ran Update Mananger
- Rebooted into the latest kernel (2.6.24-21)
- Repaired athi card access using the following steps:
  - cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007
  - make
  - sudo make install
  - sudo modprobe ath_pci
  - sudo reboot
- This is where the system locked up during the reboot process  where the Caps 
Lock light began to flash. The mouse pad light also goes from inactive to 
active. The system hangs in this mode indefinitely.

- Rebooted into 2.6.24-21-generic (recovery mode)
- Ran repair package option (dpkg)
- Rebooted and experienced the same problem
- Rebooted again into the 2.6.24-21-generic (recovery mode) to see what errors 
were occurring. Got the following message: kernel panic - not syncing fatal 
exception in intrupt

Is there a way to fix this issue or is a patch required? Thanks in
advance for any help given in resolving this issue!

[Bug 251252] Re: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-21-generic causes kernel panic when unloading Intel Wireless driver

2008-10-12 Thread Buttay
suspend to ram now works OK on my dell D630.

Resume from suspend still takes a bit of time (I'd say more than 30s),
but I can make it resume almost instantly by switching to the graphic
terminal manually (CTRL+ALT+F7). However, after a few seconds, the
screen turns briefly black (and comes back to the gnome desktop. But
this is a minor annoyance.

Thank you for fixing this bug.

2008-10-12 Thread Marius Gedminas
After the upgrade to linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-21-generic
2.6.24-21.27, suspend and resume, network manager did not see any
network devices.  I could not start any new X processed from within X
(although Ctrl+Alt+F1 and DISPLAY=:0 xterm workded), running ifconfig -a
or ip -a hung, running sudo -s hung, trying to suspend again didn't work
(blank text-mode screen with backlight on and a blinking cursor, also a
blinking thinkpad moon led; I could abort the suspend by pressing a
key).

dmesg didn't show anything suspicious or iwl3945-related, but
/var/log/kern.log showed the dmesg buffer was filled with ACPI error
messages and the beginning was truncated:

  Oct 12 03:08:37 platonas kernel: [27278.472517] eth1:
deauthenticate(reason=3)

was the last message before suspend, and this is the first ones after:

  Oct 12 13:05:48 platonas kernel: [27278r GPE[ D], disabling event [20070126]
  Oct 12 13:05:48 platonas kernel: [0.964529] ACPI Error (evgpe-0705): No 
handler or method for GPE[ D], disabling event [20070126]
  Oct 12 13:05:48 platonas kernel: [0.964553] ACPI Error (evgpe-0705): No 
handler or method for GPE[ D], disabling event [20070126]
  ...

I've seen these errors before upgrading linux-backports-modules.  I
vaguely remember them being related to snd-hda-intel, however sound
worked fine.

I still have my hack in place which prevents rmmod iwl3945 on suspend;
I'll remove it and see if things get better.

I have an external monitor attached to my laptop and in the second monitor

Hi @all,

S2R it really works now, flawlessly.

But as stated before, the blinking LED is also driving me nuts. My WLAN
LED is blue an directly beneath my screen (it's more or less a 2nd WLAN
LED, also known as the LED-lighted killswitch touchbutton (HP 6510b).
Before the update the LED was NOT blinking, and it is also not blinking
in Windows XP.

As this is really annoying, please fix it (at least for the HP models
with touchbuttons)..

You are fortunate :) I have *never* *ever* gotten suspend working in
Hardy, no matter what tweaks I've tried. If anyone else owns a Lenovo
Thinkpad Z61m and suspend works in Hardy, please let me know how you did
it :).

Now, back on topic, you could try the old trick of removing and re-inserting 
the kernel module (iwl3945 if you have the 3945-chipset):
As root:
$ rmmod iwl3945; modprobe iwl3945

Also:
$ dmesg
may tell you something or give some hints as to why the wireless has been 
disabled after resume. 

PS. 
Is there any proper way of replying to comments in the Launchpad interface, 
with automatic quoting of the original comment, etc ?

It's working here just fine as well. The flashing LED is a lot slower
than it used to be (back in gutsy, I believe) but it is working. I much
preferred the faster blink though - it used to also indicate (with a
very fast flicker) when it was trying to associate to an AP. Now there's
just the constant, slow blinking when there's any activity of any kind.
I do like that it blinks, but I wish it would go back to the original
behaviour!

longer works and the led is off.  The icon says networking disabled, and
trying to enable it doesn't do anything.

Well, blinking on traffic is pretty much standard behaviour for wireless
LEDs and network activity indicators in general, no ? Anyway, the rate
of blinking is not very high, at least on my hardware. I remember when I
used the older ipw3945-driver, the blinking-rate was totally
out-of-whack sometimes, so it's an improvement. I have the light below
my screen, but it's almost next to the HD-led anyway, so it's just
another bulb added to the X-mas-light party and my mind easily ignores
it.

As for disabling the led blinking, I see no options for that in the
iwl3945 module, nor any of the modules it directly depends on.

For the record the LED on my Toshiba Satellite A100 doesn't blink, yet
uses the iwl/ipw3945 drivers. I guess it's a hardware thing.

PS. Thanks for the apparent fix on this bug... I'm waiting until the
issues with the package get resolved and then I'll be testing it :)

Luckilly for both of you, Launcpad *does* hide e-mail addresses from anyone
that is not logged in, and it does this automatically. Øyvind, until I
logged in, instead of your e-mail address I saw email address hidden.

Back on-topic:

1) I would like to test this out but am not confident in my compiling
abilities; I will wait until the appropriate packages are ready.

2) @ MattJ: Your current non-blinking status is actually not as intended;
one of the fixes here is making the LED blink like it is supposed to. As
to whether or not it *should* blink, when Øyvind said that blinking was the
default, he meant from the manufacturer. Their intention is that the LED
would blink during transfer. As such, under Linux, the LED should blink
during transfer. I agree with you in that this could be an option, however
this adds more or less un-needed complexity. You could always make the
relevent changes in the source and re-compile for yourself. Having an actual
option is only worth it if there are a lot of people that would prefer the
LED not to blink.

Ha, great, all is as it should be :)

 Back on-topic:

 1) I would like to test this out but am not confident in my compiling

Same here. Plus if I compile it and it doesn't work, I'll not know
whether to blame myself or the driver :)

I believe it is though. I am quite sure it doesn't blink under
Windows. Been a while since I used that though.

If this update suddenly gives me a blinking LED, put me on the list of
people who want it optional :)

I still have the same problem with my Lenovo Thinkpad R61. Using the
latest Hardy (backports) kernel or the latest Intrepid kernel is causing
a kernel panic when I remove the iwl3945 module. With the Intrepid
kernel I can load/reload the module at least one or two times.

2008-08-28 Thread Leann Ogasawara
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the
upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release.  As a result, the kernel team would
appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1)  If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-
image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and
test.

--or--

2)  The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer
2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.  Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4.
Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced.
You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the
bug reported here or if the issue remains.  More importantly, please
open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the
2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.  Also, please
specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26
kernel.  Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

2008-08-27 Thread enigma_0Z
I just wanted to add that it's not just the l-b-m package, but the iwl
drivers from the compat-wireless project too... Have we identified
whether this is a kernel issue or a backports-modules problem?

What's the drawback of this workaround? More power-consumption during
s3-sleep? Will network-mananger be cluttered with old wireless-signals
that aren't present anymore?

I'd really like to have a good overview over the pros  cons before
proceeding. Thanks!

The cleanest workaround is removing linux-backports-
modules-2.6.24-21-generic until this bug is fixed again.

2008-08-23 Thread Marius Gedminas
Mathieu is correct; the best solution would be to remove l-b-m.  I,
however, need l-b-m to fix bug 259904.

The downsides of editing the sleep.d hook are two-fold:

  * Buggy network drivers may be unable to handle suspending and may
cause all kinds of problems (from network no longer working after a
resume to system crashes).  It depends on the drivers loaded, which
depend on your hardware.  In my case I have two network drivers loaded:
e1000 and iwl3945.  Both appear to handle suspend correctly without
unloading and reloading the module.  Actually, I haven't tried using
wired network after a resume, but at least there are no crashes on
suspend.

  * Having a modified sleep.d hook may cause problems in the future when
you upgrade your OS.  Your modified hook will override whatever the new
Ubuntu version ship, which may cause suspend problems.  This is not very
likely, but possible, and something to keep in mind.  It'd be best to
remove the copy in /etc/pm/sleep.d before you upgrade to 8.10.
Actually, it's best to remove it as soon as you no longer need it --
i.e. when a new linux-backports-modules release fixes the kernel panic
on rmmod.

(Somewhat ironically, removing of network modules before suspending is
also a workaround, and not a proper solution, AFAIU.  Drivers are
supposed to handle suspend correctly by putting the hardware into the
appropriate sleep state etc.  Except that buggy ones don't, and so far
it's easier to make suspend work by removing the modules rather than
debugging and fixing all the buggy drivers.)

Re: Workaround to get suspend working: don't remove the network modules
on suspend. .

Thanks, that worked, now I can hibernate again. And the wireless network
still works fine after resume, so looks like ipw3945 can handle it.

Workaround to get suspend working: don't remove the network modules on
suspend.  To achieve that, copy /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/50modules to
/etc/pm/sleep.d/, and edit the copy and comment out the unload_network
call.

Hi,
Same problem on Vaio SZ3 using Intel 3945ABG chipset and iwl3945 driver with 
2.6.24.21 kernel.
Kernel panic occurs when unloading iwl3945 driver, either manually (modprobe 
-r) or on hibernation.
Kernel 2.6.24.19 working alright.

LED not working neither since after kernel 2.6.24.19.

Yup, I noticed WLAN led is suddenly completely dead, like it used to be
without the linux-backports-modules installed.

Same problem here: suspend works with 2.6.24-20.38; with 2.6.24-21.40,
it causes a kernel panic. I'm using the generic images on my Inspiron
6400 with Intel wifi and NVidia graphics. A hw profile is attached.

My LED is also not working. Interestingly, the Hardware Drivers
utility says the wifi card is Not in use even though I'm connected and
using it right now.

Confirmed reappearance with 2.6.24-21 on Sony Vaio TZ21MN/N and the
Intel 3945 driver.

How long is it going to take before the (old) fix provided by the
backports-module enters main? It sucks downloading new kernels and
always having to blacklist them until the backport-module comes along to
save the day...

I mean, its not like only five people on this planet are using Intel-
drivers... :(
