Hi guys, if my iwl4965 minipci card connect with a fritzbox then the following happens -> - the hostname change to "noname" - the xorg-server crash ( i cant start a programm ) - Xserver output Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Cannot open display ":0.0" - mac80211 output wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:04:0e:8a:8d:95 wlan0: RX authentication from 00:04:0e:8a:8d:95 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:04:0e:8a:8d:95 wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:04:0e:8a:8d:95 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at net/mac80211/rx.c:319 __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet+0x2ed/0x85c() Modules linked in: ipv6 bridge llc snd_seq snd_seq_device vboxdrv uinput tp_smapi hdaps thinkpad_ec nvidia(P) snd_hda_intel i2c_i801 e1000e snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc snd_hwdep hci_usb i2c_core yenta_socket snd pcspkr video iTCO_wdt intel_agp rsrc_nonstatic iTCO_vendor_support ricoh_mmc output agpgart joydev tg3 e1000 nfs nfs_acl lockd sunrpc raid10 dm_bbr sl811_hcd usbhid ff_memless ohci_hcd ssb uhci_hcd usb_storage ehci_hcd usbcore lpfc qla2xxx megaraid_sas megaraid_mbox megaraid_mm megaraid aacraid sx8 DAC960 cciss cpqarray 3w_9xxx 3w_xxxx mptsas scsi_transport_sas mptfc scsi_transport_fc scsi_tgt mptspi mptscsih mptbase atp870u dc395x qla1280 dmx3191d sym53c8xx qlogicfas408 gdth advansys initio BusLogic arcmsr aic7xxx aic79xx scsi_transport_spi sg videobuf_core sata_qstor sata_sil24 scsi_wait_scan pata_pcmcia pcmcia pcmcia_core Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: P 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 #1 [<c01248ac>] warn_on_slowpath+0x41/0x6a [<c011c62a>] ? __wake_up+0x31/0x3b [<c01316b7>] ? insert_work+0x5b/0x63 [<c01319d4>] ? __queue_work+0x28/0x2d [<c0131a33>] ? queue_work+0x36/0x40 [<c05dc619>] ? ieee80211_sta_rx_mgmt+0xba/0xdd [<f9d78b27>] ? _nv004514rm+0x19/0x1d [nvidia] [<c05dfa67>] __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet+0x2ed/0x85c [<c03f509d>] ? __next_cpu+0x15/0x25 [<c0136c99>] ? ktime_get_ts+0x40/0x44 [<c05e1d1b>] __ieee80211_rx+0x41a/0x46b [<c047bb02>] ? iwl4965_rx_queue_update_write_ptr+0x377/0x381 [<c047d1f9>] ? iwl4965_rx_queue_restock+0x10c/0x118 [<c05d2c18>] ieee80211_tasklet_handler+0x51/0xf4 [<c0128c0d>] tasklet_action+0x56/0xa9 [<c0128b00>] __do_softirq+0x64/0xcd [<c0105826>] do_softirq+0x55/0x89 [<c0156913>] ? handle_edge_irq+0x0/0x100 [<c0128a69>] irq_exit+0x38/0x6b [<c01058fa>] do_IRQ+0xa0/0xb6 [<c010421f>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28 [<c013007b>] ? sys_setpgid+0x64/0x17a [<c0452c67>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x27d/0x2ec [<c053e586>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x55/0x83 [<c053e531>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0x0/0x83 [<c0102587>] cpu_idle+0x90/0xac [<c05ece6a>] rest_init+0x4e/0x50 ======================= ---[ end trace 5825d69f63d9fb2f ]--- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know that the xserver make problems if the hostname change during the Xsession. The iwl4965-ucode firmwares seemes to be okay. So i musst be a driver problem between fritzbox and kernel driver that change the hostname. Sorry for my bad english... greetz Zaolin Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Networkmanager connect to the fritzbox AP 2. Xserver crash 3.
Lets try a couple of things 1) Please attach lspci 2) Do you have Intel 4965 driver compiled in kernel or as module 3) If you have it as module , can you unload the module and then load it ,and post dmesg output after that I am using iwl4965-ucode ( slotted 1 ) on my gentoo machine with the same wifi card chipset without problems. Please provide the above info to investigate the problem more carefully
Problem was a networkmanager problem. Not a hardware or driver problem. Sorry for that. It seems that the networkmanager has problems with some wifi cards because of hostname changing. You can solve the problem with a simple EDIT in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf -> send host-name "your-hostname"; supersede host-name "your-hostname"; greetz Zaolin
