Created attachment 159021 [details] dmesg log of error When I connect to a wireless network, I get a crash on the iwlwifi module almost every time. This also happens irregularly while I'm already connected to a wireless LAN. Additionally I sometimes get "fail to flush tx queue" errors, but far less frequently. Latter error seems to be the same as reported here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56581 Every time 1 second before the crash, this line gets logged: cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: DE Not sure if that's related. I'm using a Thinkpad x220 with an "Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205" wireless controller. There is also an entry on the Arch Linux bugtracker with additional logs and information: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41906
I'll check the regulatory thing - but that's in mac80211. I don't remember right now if we have a fix for this. Regarding "fail to flush tx queue", the fix has been merged in 3.17.3 upstream. I don't know how that maps to ARCH linux kernels but I'd be very surprised if 3.17.4-1-ARCH wouldn't have that commit... In any case, unfortunately, there isn't much more I can do for that bug.
Same error here on a system with this wireless device: 01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Attaching relevant dmesg log.

Patch published: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5417441/ I am leaving this bug open until the patch gets merged.
If I unterstand your patch correctly it just removes the warning, but it won't actually fix the driver crash this bug report was submitted for. So why mark it as resolved?
There is no real bug. The commit message explains this.
FYI - this patch has been ACKed by the maintainer of the relevant code.
