Bug Description

I'm seeing intermittent loss of connectivity, where there are no errors, the connection stays "up" but packets are no longer getting through.

I've tried going back through the past few kernels, and the problem is consistent from 3.2.0-19.30 through 3.2.0-23.36 (which seems to be current). I see no errors in dmesg or other indications of what's going wrong, but It's very easily reproducible, as it happens all the time. I lose connectivity about once every 30 seconds, for about 30 seconds, i.e. it's down 50% of the time.

Matt Zimmerman, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

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'.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

Is there something newer than current Precise available already? That's what
I'm running. :-)

I already filed this bug report with ubuntu-bug, so it has all of this
information available already.

Hi Matt,

Can you test the following v3.4-rc3 mainline kernel:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc3-precise/

That will tell us if the bug is already fixed upstream.

I am seeing something similar with Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230, the wireless connection drops, sometimes does not reconnect, sometimes it does.
I have disabled 11n per other posts and it seems to be helping, no disconnects since disabling.
$ more /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

This issue arose for me when I picked up the final two weeks worth of updates for 12.04.

+1. Have been having constant, ongoing issues with wifi dropouts - but only with 12.04 and only in the last several weeks (did not seem to be a problem when I was running beta1. Came up later than that).

I have this on two machines, running Xubuntu and Ubuntu respectively, but both 12.04 and both current/up-to-date.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805285 suggests it might be an Intel thing. (see also http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2359) - if it's the same thing.

Very hard to work out what's relevant and what's not from my Syslog (found the redhat link from a search for "iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues" as one line appearing in my syslog frequently enough)

The symptom is that I appear to remain associated, but all IP traffic stops, and a continuous ping shows my local wifi interface IP reporting 'destination host unreachable' (pinging my default gateway) after a period. It can take quite a while (if at all) for the wifi association to drop and restart, getting me comms back. Doing so manually also gets me comms back - for a while.
Over the last 2.5 hours, searching for 'reason=' in my syslog:

(etc)

I had to run 'modprobe -r iwlwifi; modprobe iwlwifi' to get this to come back (usually networkmanager would let me reassociate without drama, first time this has happened... but i also manually did the same earlier for the first time to see if it'd reset my connection, something i inferred from the redhat bug).

No idea whether this is related or different but I've heard that there's some known wifi issues in Linux 3.0.x...

I noticed this problem in 11.10. My wifi worked great in 11.04, but as soon as I migrated to 11.10, my wifi became unbearably slow. Running iwconfig, I noticed that the "TX excessive retries" was incrementing like crazy when browsing the web:

Could this be router-related? I am using a Cisco WRT160N.

I noticed this problem in 11.10.  My wifi worked great in 11.04, but as soon as I migrated to 11.10, my wifi became unbearably slow.   Running iwconfig, I noticed that the "TX excessive retries" was incrementing like crazy when browsing the web:

I should also add that when I moniter the bitrate of my wireless card (either with iwconfig or by going to 'Connection Information', the bitrate varies wildly. When I experience this bug, it sometimes goes back and forth between 1 Mb/s and some much higher number.

I'm also getting this periodic loss of connection problem. I've had it with 10.04, 11.10 and now 12.04 but it is much much worse on 12.04.

Dell Latitude E6400 with a Broadcom chipset wireless card (I think it was a BCM4312)
Dell Latitude E6420 with both a Broadcom (BCM43228) and Intel (AGN5300) chipset wireless card

On the first laptop (E6400) when I was running 10.04 the problem resulted in sluggish response when using SSH or browsing. I was getting about 2% one-way packet loss (i.e. pinging out from the laptop to the WAP showed packet loss, but pinging from another machine to the laptop showed no lost packets.) When first booted the network was fine but would deteriorate over a period of about 60 minutes.

On the same laptop using Ubuntu 11.10 the problem became worse with frequent disconnects. Only rebooting the laptop would reconnect the wireless.

Again, on the same laptop with 12.04 the wireless was completely unusable. It would associate with the WAP and could send and receive a few hundred packets before reporting any host I tried to ping as unreachable. With all three versions of Ubuntu on this laptop I only experienced the problem at home and not at work so put it down to my WAP at home being incompatible with the laptop's wireless card.

On the second laptop (E6420) I've only ever tried Ubuntu 12.04. With the Broadcom wireless card I found that, at home, it would work for a couple of hours then either drop the connection completely or suffer from heavy packet loss (>20%). At work it would appear to be associated with the WAP but trying to ping another machine would result in "network unreachable" messages. Routing tables were all correct.

I then tried an Intel AGN5300 wireless card in the same laptop. It is better but I see more or less the same symptoms: at home I get disconnections or high packet loss after a couple of hours use; at work I see the wireless is associated with a WAP but get "network unreachable" when pinging, or high packet loss. I also get wildly varying connection bit-rates and excessively high "Invalid misc" count from iwconfig. This was reported just five minutes after rebooting:

iwconfig wlan0

          Tx excessive retries:15 Invalid misc:125154 Missed beacon:0

I'm currently running iwlwifi with the following options:

swcrypto=1 11n_disable=1 power_save=0

which helps a lot but doesn't completely remove the problem.

The fact that I've had similar problems with two laptops, two different WAPs, and three different chipset wireless cards seems to suggest this problem is not a fault with the hardware or drivers but something in Ubuntu itself.

Note that I do not have access to the first laptop any more but I do still have both wireless cards for the new one. I will also try the latest kernel...

Same problem on a Thinkpad T420 with a Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35) WiFi card since 12.04 .

If the WiFi is reconnected after failing without reloading the driver, the problem happens much faster again as if I unloaded/reloaded the iwlwifi driver by modprobe before reconnecting.

Becauseof this I think it is a driver problem and not a ubuntu problem.

There are no problems reported in the syslog (or kernel log).

I am seeing this on my HP Dv4t-5100 with a Centrino Wireless-N 2230 wireless card on 12.04 with all updates current.

Some strange things happen, first, it takes a long time for the wireless to connect, then ping times to the router vary randomly from up to 1 sec down to 4 ms or so.

The only thing about the wifi or intel in dmesg or the kern.log is the following :

Hi all,

I'm running 12.04 with Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35), and with my new router I started having this problem. I switched the router to only G, and so far the problem is gone, so I would guess that is something wrong with the N interface.

Cheers

Ivan, nic is exacly the same (Intel ... rev 35) and the symptoms too. Several people above disable the N protocol and partially solve the problem. I thought N would solve my low signal problem but did the contrary. Should it be an Intel driver bug?

On my Notebook (T420 w. 12.04) the problem disappeared by replacing the WLAN-Router (old: DIR-635, new: DIR-645) but the new router still allows all n/g/b protocols.

So it seems to be a race condition which appears only on some routers (I assume as Prada a Intel linux driver bug).

This bug affects me when iam connected to a Devolo dLAN® 200 AV Wireless N and one specific laptop is connected, too.
Network stops receiving and sending any packages but "seems" to be connected.

The specific laptop uses an Atheros AR5007 with Windows Vista. I installed the newest driver for the Atheros card in Windows from http://www.atheros.cz/ . This has not solved the problem. All other devices (several laptops, netbooks, phones, etc.) are working without any problem, when the specific laptop is connected to the dLAN® 200 AV Wireless N.

My System :
Dell E6400 with Intel 6300 Ultimate rev 0x74 with (K)ubuntu 12.04, newest updates installed.
I tried to run "ubuntu-bug linux" but i do not know how to connect the generated report to this bug.

I am hitting this bug in 13.04 raring running kernel version 3.8.0-1-generic.

I see these messages when my connection stops sending/receiving packets.
[17195.495526] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues

I find if I use the kill switch to "power cycle" the wireless chip, it begins working again. I have not disabled 11n support and I connect to both my router's 2.4GHz and 5GHz depending on which one is stronger in the part of the house I am at. I do suspect the issue occurs when I am connected to the 5GHz antennae.

My laptop is a Lenovo t410s, with the Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35) wireless chipset.

I'm having this issue with Ubuntu 12.10 (linux 3.5.0-23) and Centrino Wireless-N 2230 [8086:0887] too. I see the same "fail to flush all tx fifo queues" messages in the syslog.
