Kernel traces in ieee80211 after "Hardware restart was requested"

[Dan Watkins]

When using my desktop normally, I experienced a hard lock-up. On reboot, I was able to examine the journal to find a whole bunch of traces (attached in journal-traces).

Please test latest mainline kernel [1] and latest firmware [2]. If the issue persists, please attach `dmesg` output when the issue happens.

Hi Kai-Heng,

Thanks for the next steps! I've just installed the latest mainline kernel and it failed to boot. I _didn't_ attempt the new firmware at the same time, would that have made a difference?

Thanks,

Dan

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Maybe try the latest firmware without the mainline kernel.
