Description Filipp Andjelo 2009-10-24 21:18:00 UTC
Description:
After the kernel update to 2.6.31 my wireless network is dead. Till now, I didn't find anything that could bring a solution or even s.t. about the root of the problem. Module seems to be initialized successfully, but no even a scan for networks can be done. The only error I could find is a repeating crap in the dmesg (see attachment).
Comment 1 Filipp Andjelo 2009-10-24 21:20:29 UTC
I had to fallback to kernel 2.6.30.6, I have no problems in that version, so s.t. was broken since that one.

Comment 3 Ivo van Doorn 2009-10-27 17:44:15 UTC
Try disabling powersaving:
iwconfig wlan0 power off
Comment 4 Filipp Andjelo 2009-10-27 18:54:26 UTC
I've tried it already, but it didn't help.
Comment 5 Michal Kašpar 2009-11-04 19:14:04 UTC
I'm not sure if it is the same problem, but seems quite simillar. My Edimax EW-7128G wireless doesnt work with WEP since 2.6.31 kernel (Debian flavor). It associates with AP but no packets get through. There is nothing strange in logs, just no packets are comming back from the network. I've accidentaly tried WPA2 and it works fine, so it seems the problem appears with WEP only.
lspci identifies the card as:
07:01.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI [1814:0301]
and it uses rt61pci driver.
Comment 6 Filipp Andjelo 2009-11-04 22:35:10 UTC
My problem appears using WPA2, I didn't try WEP. I wouldn't miss WEP although it is useless, if you know what I mean :)

I can confirm this error.

I got spam of below same error message:
----
phy1 -> rt2500pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 3 (-16).
phy1 -> rt2500pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 4 (-5).

"iwconfig wlan0 power off" does not working for me too.

Comment 9 Gertjan van Wingerde 2009-11-24 22:33:54 UTC
Would it be possible to enable RT2X00_DEBUG and post a full dmesg of a run with debugging enabled?
Comment 10 Filipp Andjelo 2009-11-27 18:43:46 UTC
First, I don't have much experience with modules/kernel debugging. I've recompiled the modules with RT2X00_DEBUG and enabled DEBUG Logging with "echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk" but no additional information is shown in dmesg. What am I doing wrong? I think, I need some help :)
Comment 11 Sin-young "Divinespear" Kang 2009-11-29 20:49:27 UTC
there is no additional information with RT2X00_DEBUG....

so I inserted some info printing code, and this is result.

-16 at stage 3 means EBUSY. Is it hardware problem?

I think this is the same bug as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/404596

I got an rt61pci. If i try to load the driver i get an error:

 rt61pci 0000:05:09.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
 phy0 -> rt61pci_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RF chipset detected.
 phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate device.
 rt61pci 0000:05:09.0: PCI INT A disabled

Please, please fix this bug!

What makes you think it is the same bug?
The driver is different, the error message is different, the bug behavior is different...
The only thing the 2 issues have in common is that the chipset comes from Ralink, and that the driver uses the rt2x00 library.

Sorry, i was tiered. Maybe you are right.
But both driver stop working with .31 and .32.

Should i open a new bug report for the rt61pci Problem?

Well, it is good to track both bugs as separate reports, although they *may*
be related, as in both cases we are looking at a driver reading bogus information
from the EEPROM.
Note how the rt2500pci problem also reads a random MAC address from the EEPROM.

I don't have a clue to where the problem is yet, but maybe some EEPROM related
problem has been introduced in 2.6.31.

Lets assume they are related. I cloned the 2.6.31 git and did some git bisect.
git bisect bad v2.6.31
git bisect good v2.6.30
After compiling the kernel 16 times i got this:

"5d423ccd7ba4285f1084e91b26805e1d0ae978ed is the first bad commit"

That commit does some changes in /arch/x86/kernel/e820.c

After an git checkout v2.6.31.6 and git revert 5d423ccd7ba4285f1084e91b26805e1d0ae978ed i could do an modprobe rt61pci without getting an error.
But ifconfig wlan0 up gives me an error:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown Error 132

I hope this could help. If there is anything I could do feel free to ask.
Comment 17 Carlos 2009-12-05 23:27:42 UTC
Ah, when i press the Wifi button on my laptop (Never needed that before) the SIOCSIFFLAGS is gone and the card works. 
Maybe the git revert 5d423ccd7ba4285f1084e91b26805e1d0ae978ed also works for the RT2500.
Comment 18 Sin-young "Divinespear" Kang 2009-12-07 03:25:22 UTC
boot with "pci=use_crs" should be work.
I cannot test wireless connect cause I don't have spots around here, but error spamming is stopped.

Yes, that works for my rt2500pci but what is that option for? An is that solution clean one? Any explanation is appreciated :)

I have sent this case to the x86 maintainer and the creator of the patch that is identified as to be causing this problem.
My initial conclusion is that this may be something that lies outside of the rt2x00 driver.

This should be 

commit 99935a7a59eaca0292c1a5880e10bae03f4a5e3d
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 4 21:54:24 2009 -0700

    x86/PCI: read root resources from IOH on Intel


in current mainline. 

Is that patch needed in 2.6.32.y?
