This seems to me more like a wpa_supplicant issue, in which it keeps trying to activate the network card over and over, triggering the error in each attempt. I don't see anything in the iwlwifi driver that would repeat on its own the attempt to load the firmware once it fails. I mean, it may try multiple ucode_apis, but it will try each one only once, and if they all fail, it will give up and unbind the device. It would be nice to check in the syslog whether there are wpa_supplicant errors after each block of kernel errors. This would confirm my theory. > https://trisquel.info/en/issues/15696 (messy as hell, sorry...) > https://trisquel.info/en/issues/15897 > Thanks for working for freedom! -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist|Red Hat Brasil GNU Toolchain Engineer _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
