8086:0083 problem with wi-fi, "ifconfig wlan0 up" returns "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error"

[Вячеслав Сухенко]

rfkill said that wireless is soft blocked, but after I ran "rfkill unblock", "ifconfig wlan0 up" returned "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error"

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.11 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

 'ifconfig wlan0 up' doesn't work with this kernel too. and now my nvidia driver startup fails, even after removing the kernel.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Вячеслав Сухенко, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Raring?

[Вячеслав Сухенко (eternalfame)]

this problem occurs in 12.10 too

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Вячеслав Сухенко, did this happen in a release prior to Quantal?

[Вячеслав Сухенко (eternalfame)]

Ubuntu precise (from livecd). wireless doesn't work too

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Вячеслав Сухенко, did you test the 12.04.2? If so, this would be with the new Quantal backported kernel, so testing Precise was basically testing Quantal again.

Hence, for regression testing purposes, could you please test Oneiric via http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/ ?

[Вячеслав Сухенко (eternalfame)]

Christopher M. Penalver, no, it was 12.04.1.
okay, lets try oneiric!

[Вячеслав Сухенко (eternalfame)]

no. under oneiric this bug exists too.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Вячеслав Сухенко, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this.

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
