Arch Linux

This still affects the latest kernel 3.6.4-1-ARCH.

I can confirm this bug on kernel 3.6.4-1. I downgraded to 3.6.2-1 so I could temporary keep it working. Using an Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN.

Also, for me isn't that the wireless crashes when trying to connecto using WPA, but since I turn on the computer, it just doesn't recognizes the wireless card. If I do "ifconfig" or "airmon-ng" the card doesn't appears there. But if I do "lspci" the card is there.

I can confirm this bug too, running kernel 3.6.5-1-ARCH.

Hardware is:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)

Disabling 11n in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf with "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" didn't help at all.

Kernel 3.6.6-1-ARCH seems to have fixed this for me, can anyone else confirm?

Doesnt' work for me, even with Kernel 3.6.6-1-ARCH.

My Wireless card : Intel WiFi Link 5100.

Doesn't work for me either even with kernel 3.6.6-1-ARCH
My wifi card is Intel Wifi Link 5100

Update: I got it to work. Among the things I did there was:
- activate mac address filtering on router
- uninstall netcfg with -sn options
- took wlan0 down with ifconfig because it kept staying busy even with the netcfg commands
- install network-manager
- set up a new wireless connection with wpa encryption

Maybe that can help somebody.

doesn't work,too.
system info:
system:Linux LM 3.6.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 11:57:22 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
wlan:03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (rev c4)

For me it works fine now. (Using netcfg or networkmanager)

- netcfg-3.0-1
- networkmanager-0.9.6.4-1
- linux-3.6.6-1

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)

Thank you very much!

Is there anyone still having problems?

doesn't work with linux 3.6.6 and linux 3.6.7 from testing
from time to time network freezes, workaround 11n_disable=1 as before
hardware: intel wifi-link 1000 bgn

since updating kernel to linux 3.6.8 there are no freezes anymore.

I just tried with kernel 3.6.10 on arch x64 and I still have the problem =/
I downgraded back to kernel 3.6.2.1 in the meantime to make it work again.

Status on 3.7.x?

regression for linux 3.7.4, network is stable only with 11n_disable=1
hardware: intel wifi-link 1000 bgn

*EDIT 1-25-2013* Correction, it's working for me with no workarounds. Switched from dhcpcd to dhclient.

Same issue:

Status on 3.8?

Did a vanilla build of 3.8.2 last night. Bug still exists for me using Centrino Advanced-N 6235.

Also, isn't this the same bug as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31667 ?

I think to have the same problem on a asus nv56 with a Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4) wifi card and the 3.8.7-1 kernel version.

Sorry, I didn't have this bug.
I had more of one service that tried to manage the wifi.
I solved with:
systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
systemctl disable net-auto-wired.service
systemctl disable net-auto-wireless.service
Now all works fine.
Sorry again

Status on 3.9?

I was having this bug until this morning.. now I have no connection at all. both 3.9.3 and 3.9.4 dont connect. Some errors about RFKill. Amazing timing for the exam period... Ill try to use my other computer (the one im using now with linux and no problems, so its not the router) and upload some logs.

new error message. I had wireless for a while, and then it just "died". Now, after being off for 8h, I have wireless again, but I'm sure it will go down...

Status on 3.10.x?

Works for me.
