Description:After upgrade to the NM1.4, my wireless is
broken and "Error @wl_cfg80211_scan : wlc_scan error (-22)"
message appears in dmesg
I am back to the nm 1.2.5 and now there is no problem. BTW there are some other WL driver users who have the same problem too. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon
Dmesg:
kern :err : [Mon Aug 29 08:47:43 2016] ERROR @wl_cfg80211_scan : WLC_SCAN error (-22)
kern :err : [Mon Aug 29 08:47:43 2016] ERROR @wl_cfg80211_scan : WLC_SCAN error (-22)
NetworkManager:
NetworkManager[519]: <error> [1472453563.1127] platform-linux: do-change-link[2]: failure changing link: failure 23 (Too many open files in system)
However, it works with Ralink USB wifi dongle.
Previous version works fine.
Workarounds:
use nmcli to set 802-11-wireless.mac-address-randomization to never on a per connection basis or set
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to disable the feature completely.
This workaround works for me.
I tried and it works for me too.
Thanks!
@BrainWubber: your bug is not related to this report which is about randomization of MAC address, open a new one and provide logs.
