Description:
I have a realtek usb wifi adapter using with stock kernel. After the kernel upgrade to 3.2.1-1 it stopped working and in dmesg and /var/log/messages.log the following can be seen: Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996701] wpa_supplicant D 00000000fffef134 0 1167 1 0x00000000 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996704] ffff8802128c5c68 0000000000000086 ffffffff00000000 dead000000100100 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996708] ffff880222b2a3a0 ffff8802128c5fd8 ffff8802128c5fd8 ffff8802128c5fd8 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996710] ffff8802238d7200 ffff880222b2a3a0 ffffffff8117a210 dead000000100100 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996712] Call Trace: Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996719] [<ffffffff8117a210>] ? __pollwait+0xf0/0xf0 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996722] [<ffffffff814258bf>] schedule+0x3f/0x60 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996724] [<ffffffff81426fa4>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x154/0x370 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996727] [<ffffffff813fa360>] ? iw_handler_get_private+0x60/0x60 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996729] [<ffffffff814271d6>] mutex_lock+0x16/0x30 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996732] [<ffffffff81371d15>] rtnl_lock+0x15/0x20 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996734] [<ffffffff813f9475>] wext_ioctl_dispatch+0x65/0x240 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996736] [<ffffffff813f9770>] ? call_commit_handler+0x40/0x40 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996738] [<ffffffff813f9926>] wext_handle_ioctl+0x46/0x90 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996741] [<ffffffff81365870>] dev_ioctl+0xe0/0x610 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996743] [<ffffffff81128c6c>] ? tlb_flush_mmu+0x6c/0x90 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996745] [<ffffffff8113018d>] ? unmap_region+0x10d/0x130 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996748] [<ffffffff8134a5da>] sock_ioctl+0xfa/0x2c0 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996750] [<ffffffff811793af>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8f/0x500 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996752] [<ffffffff811798b1>] sys_ioctl+0x91/0xa0 Jan 21 18:37:49 localhost kernel: [ 240.996755] [<ffffffff814290c2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This problem didnt exist on the previous 3.1.9 version and it's not happening either with the LTS version. lsusb output: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Reverting to linux 3.2.1-2 solved.
iwconfig wouldnt associate.
I went back to linux-3.2.1-1 (x86_64) to fix

I have the same problem as Cuke above with the ath9k pci card which stopped working with the linux-3.2.2 update.
@bkadoctaj Unfortunately the modprobe.conf or kernel line addition is not working for me.

P.S. Should I reopen the task vs. new kernel version?
http://schlunix.org/archlinux/core/os/
Other official packages may be found there as well (I also had to downgrade the nvidia driver, for example, because the most recent one depends on linux>=3.3).
I have internal Atheros WIFI adapter (Aspire 1830T notebook), and I have some problem.
But on USB D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N Adapter(rev.B2) [Ralink RT2870] all OK...
After a few hours, my wlan device disconnect and I become every second this messages on my console:
Apr 14 07:15:56 arch kernel: [34258.724577] ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2412MHz)
Apr 14 07:15:56 arch kernel: [34259.058385] ath5k phy0: calibration of channel 1 failed

Apr 14 07:16:00 arch kernel: [34262.258593] ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2417MHz)
[...]
Rebooting doesn't solve the problem, I must shutdown my Notebook, than it works again.
Tried this and (for now) my WLAN works correctly:

Hope it would fixed for ath5k modules too.
