--- Begin Message ---Package: firmware-atheros Version: 20161130-3 Severity: important Tags: upstream After upgrading to firmware-atheros_20170823-1 my wifi becomes unreliable, working for approximately 5-15 minutes before stopping transporting packets to my access point. This issue is not sensitive to: - The model of access point I am connecting to (tested vs OpenWRT, Apple & Cisco) - The kernel version (tested vs 4.11, 4.12 & 4.13 kernels) I can unload the relevant modules and reload them and things work again... for another 5-15 minutes. The only sure-fire solution for me has been to downgrade to version 20161130-3, which seems to have no issues. Sometimes I see the following trace in dmesg: [ 2992.777128] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2992.777139] WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 0 at /build/linux- wJBo44/linux-4.13.4/net/core/dev.c:5504 net_rx_action+0x280/0x3c0 [ 2992.777140] Modules linked in: ath10k_pci ath10k_core ath rfcomm ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 nf_conntrack_netlink nfnetlink fuse xfrm_user xfrm_algo iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 xt_addrtype xt_conntrack nf_nat nf_conntrack br_netfilter bridge stp llc overlay ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_filter cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_powersave ctr ccm cmac bnep binfmt_misc nls_ascii nls_cp437 vfat fat arc4 uvcvideo videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops videobuf2_v4l2 videobuf2_core videodev btusb media btrtl joydev hid_multitouch snd_hda_codec_hdmi msr intel_rapl x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel dell_laptop dell_wmi i2c_designware_platform i2c_designware_core kvm dell_smbios snd_hda_codec_realtek dell_smm_hwmon [ 2992.777217] wmi_bmof dcdbas mxm_wmi snd_hda_codec_generic irqbypass crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel snd_hda_intel rtsx_pci_ms hci_uart efi_pstore memstick btbcm nvidia_drm(O) snd_hda_codec intel_cstate mac80211 nvidia_modeset(O) btqca snd_hda_core intel_uncore pcspkr btintel snd_hwdep intel_rapl_perf bluetooth evdev snd_pcm cfg80211 serio_raw efivars snd_timer i915 snd iTCO_wdt soundcore iTCO_vendor_support drbg drm_kms_helper ansi_cprng idma64 mei_me drm processor_thermal_device ecdh_generic i2c_algo_bit mei sg shpchp intel_soc_dts_iosf intel_lpss_pci intel_pch_thermal battery rfkill intel_lpss_acpi dell_smo8800 intel_lpss wmi video acpi_als int3403_thermal kfifo_buf int3400_thermal int340x_thermal_zone acpi_thermal_rel industrialio intel_hid tpm_crb button acpi_pad ac sparse_keymap [ 2992.777295] tcp_bbr ib_iser rdma_cm iw_cm ib_cm ib_core configfs iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi nvidia_uvm(O) nvidia(O) elan_i2c parport_pc ppdev lp parport efivarfs ip_tables x_tables autofs4 ext4 crc16 mbcache jbd2 fscrypto ecb raid10 raid456 async_raid6_recov async_memcpy async_pq async_xor async_tx xor raid6_pq libcrc32c crc32c_generic raid1 raid0 multipath linear md_mod sd_mod hid_generic usbhid rtsx_pci_sdmmc mmc_core crc32c_intel aesni_intel aes_x86_64 crypto_simd cryptd glue_helper ahci libahci xhci_pci libata xhci_hcd i2c_i801 rtsx_pci mfd_core scsi_mod usbcore usb_common thermal i2c_hid hid [last unloaded: ath] [ 2992.777374] CPU: 7 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/7 Tainted: G O 4.13.0-1-amd64 #1 Debian 4.13.4-1 [ 2992.777376] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
