[Touch-packages] [Bug 1987252] Re: "Beacon request: No valid channels" for 802.11k measurement (RRM) then frequent disconnections
The output above was with Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201. And another colleague in EU had Intel 8200 series and the output was all *with* NO_IR. > Mode[A] Channels: > 36 = 5180 MHz (NO_IR) > 40 = 5200 MHz (NO_IR) > 44 = 5220 MHz (NO_IR) > 48 = 5240 MHz (NO_IR) > 52 = 5260 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 56 = 5280 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 60 = 5300 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 64 = 5320 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 100 = 5500 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 104 = 5520 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 108 = 5540 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 112 = 5560 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 116 = 5580 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 120 = 5600 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 124 = 5620 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 128 = 5640 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 132 = 5660 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 136 = 5680 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 140 = 5700 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 144 = 5720 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 149 = 5745 MHz (NO_IR) > 153 = 5765 MHz (NO_IR) > 157 = 5785 MHz (NO_IR) > 161 = 5805 MHz (NO_IR) > 165 = 5825 MHz (NO_IR) So it must be dependent on the vendor/model/generation of WiFi cards.

I forgot to mention; 2.10-9ubuntu1 in kinetic didn't make a difference so I went down the path of finding a commit in upstream. My colleague in EU kindly shared an output of `sudo wpa_cli get_capability freq` and it had 5GHz channels *without* NO_IR. So the key to reproduce the issue would be regulations set for countries/regions. > Mode[A] Channels: > 36 = 5180 MHz (NO_IR) > 40 = 5200 MHz (NO_IR) > 44 = 5220 MHz (NO_IR) > 48 = 5240 MHz (NO_IR) > 52 = 5260 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 56 = 5280 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 60 = 5300 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 64 = 5320 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 100 = 5500 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 104 = 5520 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 108 = 5540 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 112 = 5560 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 116 = 5580 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 120 = 5600 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 124 = 5620 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 128 = 5640 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 132 = 5660 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 136 = 5680 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 140 = 5700 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 144 = 5720 MHz (NO_IR) (DFS) > 149 = 5745 MHz > 153 = 5765 MHz > 157 = 5785 MHz > 161 = 5805 MHz > 165 = 5825 MHz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wpa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987252 Title: "Beacon request: No valid channels" for 802.11k measurement (RRM) then frequent disconnections Status in wpa package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When running a laptop with a mesh WiFi network, frequent disconnections happen like 10 to 20 times per hour.
