Public bug reported: Brand new Macbook Pro 12,1. Brand new Ubuntu 16.04 install (from scratch). In MacOS the machine can connect to my bluetooth speaker from across the room and play A2DP no trouble at all. In Ubuntu 16.04 I have to literally hold up the macbook 1 inch away from the speaker to

I am as well, even with a fixed driver. Mine happens most often when I close my lid, either it has to do with the screensaver or screen blanking im not sure. Sometimes its a lot more often than others. Certainly much better than before the driver fix. No way to consistently reproduce yet. --

@Andy -- I'm confused how this should work. This whole time we've been talking about an out-of-tree module. Does the kernel you posted contain that module built in somehow? When I boot into that kernel I don't actually get wifi access at all unless I modprobe one of the version of the r8192

1) I can confirm everything Matt has said so far on my machine. iwpriv -a is definitely the cause of the problem 2) Obviously I cant copy paste so good from a non-X vt on a machine that has had a kernel panic. I took a photo however (attached) 3) It looks like it crashes on an ioctl

OK, new datapoint. With a new generic kernel and no wifi module built it was stable with powertop. The second I built and modprobed the module the machine would crash on powertop. Going to look for a new version of the wifi module now. -- kernel panic - kernel stack corrupted
