I've just committed a workaround for this. Meaning the driver will now try to restart the interface automatically when this happens. It would be nice to understand the underlying cause but the information I have so far leads nowhere. A small bit of good news is that I've seen this happen on one of my own machines. Not in an environment where I can actually debug the issue but good enough to test my workaround. > Now, I've > added the option IWM_DEBUG in the kernel, I rebuilt the kernel and I'm > getting a lot of messages like: "sending command 0x4e qid 9, idx 215" (once > per second at least) and sometimes I get: "RX BA Session stopped in fw" You > have all the information in the attachment.
