How sporadic are these errors? Do you think you can easily reproduce? Any hints on how I can reproduce here?

Please ensure driver is compiled with debug support (CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG) and then load driver with "modprobe iwlagn debug=0x443fff" - you may have to redirect it all to syslog if it takes some time to reproduce.

Remove key information during device restart

One scenario in which this can occur is when there are a few device restarts. have you been seeing those? Could you please try this patch?

Comment 3 Mario Guenterberg 2010-06-17 06:42:27 UTC

I will try the patch later this day. The device may be restarting sometimes, yes. The problem occurs intensified at the end of a long session on my laptop, 12 -14 hours. My notebook stands still at this time, I've worked at my office table all the time. I noticed that NetworkManager reconnected from time to time with the wireless network.

Comment 4 Mario Guenterberg 2010-06-21 21:29:21 UTC

I've applied the patch and build a new kernel with it. I have a new long working session tomorrow. I will see wether it help.

Comment 5 Mario Guenterberg 2010-06-23 23:47:42 UTC

I had yesterday no problems with the network device, anyway not this issue related. Works fine.
