[Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]
The bug seems related to various errors never reported by NetworkManager: For WLAN: authentication is perfect. Communication too, but the connection is terminated because of Reason 3 (whatever this means). In between the connection is assigned an IP address. Doing: dhclient wlan0 shortly later the connection is functional and up for hours! But: dhclient throws two error messages. For USB: All working, IP is assigned, then deassigned again. No error messages logged. Doing: dhclient usb0 shortly later the connection is up and running, but dhclient throws two error messages. I had a look at NetworkManager to find out why no errors are reported --- quite simple: NetworkManager just ignores them, but deconfigures the interface. The error messages thrown by dhclient: # dhclient wlan0 Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service smbd reload Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd RTNETLINK answers: File exists /etc/dhcp/dhclient-script: line 40: local: `new_resolv.dhcp': not a valid identifier /etc/dhcp/dhclient-script: line 46: new_resolv.dhcp=/etc/resolv.dhcp.dhclient-new: No such file or directory I did not look deep enough to find out what dhclient is calling while initializing the interface.

Looks like this is what we see if there are a bundle of errors at very different places, but the main software (NetworkManager) doesn't report them the way it should do -- ignoring some of them, while acting on others, but for none of them giving back useful information.

I don't know why that script is not invoked?? I moved it to /etc/network/if-up.d and now it seems to work (although it takes a long time for me to get my first wireless connection, I think because the power management is not disabled until after the first connection).

thijz: We have powersave enabled in the kernel by default. I don't know what kind of difference in battery life you'll see by disabling it, you'll just have to try it and see I guess. Wireless powersave is a cooperative arrangement between the card and the AP, and it's known that some APs have problems with powersave mode that lead to dropped connections. If you only see this issue on one or a limited number of networks, it may be an AP problem, in which case it may be worth investigating whether a firmware update is available or if you can disable support in the AP. Otherwise I think that you can disable powersave permanently by adding a script to execute the iwconfig command in /etc/network/if-up.d (I haven't tested this myself though). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 Title: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/548992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

thijz: Not one ticket per wlan adapter/AP combo, just one ticket per wlan adapter. Otherwise we end up with bugs that represent a multitude of different problems with similar symptoms.

I want to add support to the fix that involves removing network manager (network-manager-gnome), Removing network manager worked for me. Last night I upgraded from a working Ubuntu karmic koala installation to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid). In the morning the wireless usb would not associate anymore. I got the dread message in dmesg wlan1: deauthenticating from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx by local choice (reason 3) [It is important to point out that this message made me suspicious because earlier in dmesg it had shown the wireless associating and authenticating to the access point ... so I knew that drivers were probably OK] Here is how the adaptor identifies to lsusb (Belkin Components Wireless G Plus MIMO Network Adapter) Here is an excerpt from dmesg showing the drivers used. [ 15.114787] Registered led device: rt73usb-phy0::radio [ 15.114800] Registered led device: rt73usb-phy0::assoc [ 15.114812] Registered led device: rt73usb-phy0::quality But of course ... none of this was the problem. The MOMENT that network-manager-gnome was deinstalled I was associated with the network and could ping local computers. In my case, before I could get Google to work, I had to fix resolv.conf. I think if you are using DHCP you would not need this (and most of you are ... if you don't know what it is, you definitely are!). However, I have a manually configured network and assigned ip addresses, and of course network manager had been handling my resolv.conf. So after removing network manager I had to add to resolv.conf the line nameserver 10.0.134.1 (that's my nameserver ... not yours!) Then it all worked.

[Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]
I wanted to extend my last comment (104) in light of 102 and many others. I removed network manager but did NOT install wicd. For a stationary installation with a permanent connection, you just don't need a network manager of any kind. You can configure networks the old fashioned way, by directly editing /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf.In fact, for fixed installations, i think this is preferable ... there is less to go wrong. As you probably know, network manager itself messes with resolv.conf. I don't know what wicd does, but it is often the case that more modern tools mess with the text configuration files that are at the core of linux configurations. These GUI tools are convenient, but to the extent that they hide what is really going on, I find them a distraction. From a bug fix point of view, the modprobe.d/options.conf fix is probably more illuminating, but for a user who just wants to get going, I advocate getting rid of network manager. It has bit me before and is often not necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 Title: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/548992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same here on a Thinkpad T500, tried the various fixes suggested but no improvement. Also tried various kernels, wicd, new firmware etc., and Windows connects just fine. One thing I noticed is that the timeouts appear as soon as another machine is connected to the AP - it's fine as long as it's only this one.

I was having the same problem with ubuntu 10.04 on a ThinkPad X201 with an Intel 6000 chip. I tried sillyxone's (Comment #20) solution of creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf and adding the line options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 11n_disable50=1 I then removed and then reloaded the module iwlagn.

[Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]
** Description changed: Since about 8.04 or 8.10, perhaps when Ubuntu switched over to NetworkManager, my wireless connection has randomly dropped its association with the access point, about every ten minutes. For a while, the connection will just die, then it will be detected and NetworkManager will re-authenticate and re-associate. In Lucid Lynx, this problem is now much more frequent (often exactly every two or four minutes) and now Ubuntu does not report that the connection has dropped. Instead, it re-associates in the background, eventually connecting to the access point again, all behind the scenes. Thus, the only thing that has changed, aside from the greater frequency, is that Ubuntu now doesn't report that it has dropped the connection, which seems deceptive from previous versions. - This may be the same bug as #429035, but my dmesg output is a bit + This may be the same bug as bug 429035, but my dmesg output is a bit different.

I've also had this happen quite often, but only when I am in a busy wireless environment like my school or a cafe. Similar to Alberto my school has multiple AP's.

I'd moved some router gear and somehow the repeater was now activated again (when it shouldn't have been), so now the reason=3 makes sense - my thinkpad was roaming to the new AP, and then failing to get an IP address (or talk to the router).

Not that I expect my bad network environment to work correctly, just odd that the other PCs handled the situation without a problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 Title: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same Problem on Kubuntu 10.10 KDE 4.5.4, after 15 - 20 seconds the wifi disconnect. Wlan with Atheros PCI card (802.11n) and without networkmanager. Sometimes rooter have to restart to get an normal connection to other wlan devices in the network. This behavior is not from the start, i think since the last kernel update (running on 2.6.35-24). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 Title: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Adam Felson Thanks! I stand corrected. I had tried all recommendations but wicd. Installed wicd and uninstalled network-manager. I connected and haven't had a reconnection for an hour, I've never seen my syslog so clean! This is not and ideal fix for me... I don't like wicd and it lacks functionality I'll eventually need. Like vpn and ability to use my USB 3G modem (ppp0). So this is a network-manager problem. I thought it was a wpa_supplicant problem. -- Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am running Kubuntu 10.4 on a Sony VAIO VGN-FW140E notebook which has an Intel Wifi Link 5100 chip.I have been using Kubuntu 10.4 since beta and I run wicd as the network manager. About a month ago I began noticing that about every five minutes my browsing would pause. I would open a Konsole and ping google.com and get after a couple seconds each ping began returning. The browser began working again. A couple days ago the kernel was updated to 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:52:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Now the disconnects happen within a couple minutes after beginning browsing, regardless of the browser. I rebooted using the previous kernel but the disconnects continue, usually reason 2 or 3. After I reconnect using wicd I begin pinging google.com It always fails around the 46th ping, plus or minus a couple. After ping fails on google.com it won't even ping my localhost or 127.0.0.1. Here is the work around I developed. I boot up my modem and wireless router. When they are stable I boot my notebook. After a couple minutes of browsing FireFox hangs. I close firefox. I open wicd and disconnect my access point BUT I DO NOT reboot my notebook. The I power cycle the modem and wireless. When they are stable I refresh wicd and click on my access point. It connects and stays connected. -- Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]
I was able to reproduce this bug also with a livecd (both x64 and i386) on a dell xps studio 1340 (atheros AR928X wireless chip) both with or without ipv6. Furthermore everytime I measured the time between one disassociaton and the next one, I got, for every boot, a multiple of a certain quantity; I explain it better: boot number 1: looking at dmesg with dmesg | grep reason i have time difference in the messages that are always multiple of 120 (e.g. first deauth - 120sec - 2nd deatuh - 360sec - 3rd deauth - 120sec - 4th and so on) boot number 2: same thing but with multiples of 16... boot number 3: same thing but with multiples of some other number... I really think there are few chanches to get this by chance ( for every boot I monitored something like 20-30 deauth, and they were always following the path). To me this really seems related to some timeout processes. I wolud like to stress that this never happened with 9.04, 9.10 as far as I remember, and that (but I this is more a feeling than a fact) the problem is more likely to happen in areas with many wifi connections. Strange thing to add, a friend of mine whit exactly the same hardware has never had the problem and we never found the deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3) message in his dmesg.

This problem occurs primarily on a WPA2 Enterprise network, but the problem has occurred on other network security configurations as well. dmesg output after many instances of disconnects: [ 5423.541343] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 by local choice (reason=3) [ 5425.134984] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 by local choice (reason=3) [ 5425.174916] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5425.177083] wlan0: direct probe responded [ 5425.177087] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5425.179379] wlan0: authenticated [ 5425.179399] wlan0: associate with AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5425.182881] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=68) [ 5425.182884] wlan0: associated [ 5437.562165] iwlagn :0b:00.0: iwl_tx_agg_start on ra = 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 tid = 0 [ 5480.893417] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 by local choice (reason=3) [ 5482.475859] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 by local choice (reason=3) [ 5482.515034] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5482.517187] wlan0: direct probe responded [ 5482.517190] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5482.518636] wlan0: authenticated [ 5482.518651] wlan0: associate with AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5482.522378] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=68) [ 5482.522381] wlan0: associated [ 5508.093339] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 by local choice (reason=3) [ 5508.107358] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 (try 1) [ 5508.107412] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:cb:17:bd:41 by local choice (reason=3) [ 5508.110595] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:26:cb:16:e8:d1 (try 1) [ 5508.113114] wlan0: direct probe responded [ 5508.113123] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:26:cb:16:e8:d1 (try 1) [ 5508.115392] wlan0: authenticated [ 5508.121973] wlan0: associate with AP 00:26:cb:16:e8:d1 (try 1) [ 5508.127254] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:26:cb:16:e8:d1 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=16)

On a Dell Latitude D505 running Ubuntu 10.10 we can trigger this error by: 1. Downloading a file with Transmisson. Network stops within 2 minutes. 2. Downloading two Youtube files the same time.

I am using 10.10 Netbook Remix and lost my wireless. Here is what I did to fix it: - Removed Network-manager (I may not have had to do this...keep reading) as recommended from above posts - Installed wicd. This still did not work - Then finally looked at /var/log/wicd/wicd.log and saw that wicd recommends using dhcpcd instead of dhcpclient. - So I installed dhcpcd, rebooted - Went into wicd network manager preferences external programs, and select dhcpd as dhcp client. Successfully connected to wireless after this final step. The reason why I hinted that it may not be a network manager issue is because of this final step, maybe dhcpcd also works with network manager?
