Package: iwd Version: 1.2-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, I upgraded my Debian testing system to the latest version of Bullseye, and I was completely unable to connect to wireless. In the logs, I see that iwd is crashing: Dec 12 09:40:11 lambda kernel: [55486.381334] iwd[202645]: segfault at 38 ip 000055b1995e2056 sp 00007ffc966c5360 error 6 in iwd[55b1995c4000+84000] Dec 12 09:40:11 lambda kernel: [55486.381374] Code: 48 83 c4 20 e9 58 fe ff ff 0f 1f 00 3c 21 0f 85 70 ff ff ff 31 c0 80 7c 24 10 00 0f 95 c0 83 c0 01 41 89 47 08 48 8b 44 24 18 <49> 89 46 38 e9 51 ff ff ff 90 41 8b 77 08 85 f6 0f 84 44 ff ff ff The iwd crash happens when a wireless network is selected via NetworkManager. The NetworkManager icon will then show that it is trying to connect to a network, and after a few seconds, it will go back to the "I'm not connected to any network" --- and the logs show that iwd has crashed again. :-( Reverting to iwd 1.1-1 makes my system usable again. I was able to download iwd 1.1-1 by using a USB attached ethernet using the Verizon MiFi hotspot. So that confirms that it's not a DHCP failure, but rather a WiFi association failure and between that and "reverting to the previous version" fixes it, puts the finger of blame pretty squarely on iwd 1.2-1. This failure occured when connecting to three different network. (a) GoogleGuest at GoogleNYC, (b) a hotspot using a Pixel 4 XL handset, and (c) a Verizon LTE MiFi hotspot. I am running a 5.3.0 kernel with minimal changes (the ext4 patches that were pushed to Linus during the recent pre-5.4-rc1 merge window) that should not be relevant to this failure. The hardware is a Dell XPS 13 model 9370, using the ath10k_pci driver. Please let know if there is anything I can do to help debug this failure. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-00068-g7ec6dbcda3db (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages iwd depends on: ii libc6 2.29-3 ii libreadline8 8.0-3 iwd recommends no packages. iwd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
