Please share the patch you made. Can you upgrade your kernel? The problem is this... I can't upgrade the kernel unfortunally ... I applyed this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=667944&action=diff and the connection was too slow ... The second patch https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=670702&action=diff didn't resolve the bug Please check the bug in "See also". You should cherry-pick: commit a0855054e59b0c5b2b00237fdb5147f7bcc18efb Author: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Date: Sun Oct 5 09:11:14 2014 +0300 iwlwifi: dvm: drop non VO frames when flushing this is for others kernel :( Yes of course, but you can try to apply it on your (very very old version of the) kernel.
you can also try to set drop to true always in that function.
Something like:
diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/mac80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/mac80211.c
index 3163e0f..9b7dfbd 100644
--- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/mac80211.c
+++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/mac80211.c
@@ -1016,6 +1016,8 @@ static void iwlagn_mac_flush(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, bool drop)
goto done;
}
+ drop = true;
+
/*
* mac80211 will not push any more frames for transmit
* until the flush is completed
Anyway, we can't do anything else for you since you run on an old kernel and this device is 9 years old.
Closing the bug.
