Since installing net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode-228.61.2.24 my wireless from time to time stops working. During use (browsing, downloading) the driver seems to crash. 'modprobe -r iwlagn && modprobe iwlagn' does not bring it back, but a reboot does. I usually suspend (to ram) the computer. Sometimes it takes a week of uptime until this occurs again. I also had this issue with kernel 2.6.31, but not before. It is pretty hard to reproduce. I attached portions of /var/log/messages which are printed when this happens. Hardware is an Lenovo Thinkpad x61s with intel wireless card 4965 Sorry for fuzzyness. I will try take take whatever debugging actions I can to provide more information. Reproducible: Sometimes
Created attachment 214743 [details] Kernel Messages when this occurs
Created attachment 214745 [details] emerge-info Note: the bug occured with gentoo-sources-2.6.32! emerge --info shows vanilla sources since I installed these to reproduce and submit to kernel bugzilla.
Thank you for report Thomas. Unfortunately kernel log has only addresses and no function names: Dec 31 11:03:23 denkmatte kernel: [<c01aca00>] ? 0xc01aca00 Probably you logger has no access to System.map, so please, fix this. After that, could you read the following: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=fw_error_report , report bug upstream: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/ and drop a link here? Also what happens if you downgrade firmware?
Well, I now have set up everything to log this the next time it occurs. But it seems hard to reproduce... When I first encountered this, I downgraded to net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode-228.57.2.23 which seemed to solve the problem.
Despite serious attempts I can't reproduce this lately. Closing as Test-Request for the time being. Thanks for answering in any case.
