I just want to an some extra comments to my #131 comment. On my machine with broadcom 4312 wifi the kernel panic can be reproduced quite easily, if I start Transmission and add a couple of torrents. After 2 - 15 minutes the panic normally happens. If I do ordinary web browsing with Firefox, I do not experience any problems, so maybe the issue is related to network load. With kernel 3.5 there are no issues at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 Title: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/292450/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
While starting from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.10 wl drivers worked like a charm on my broadcom 4313, it seems that the drivers in ubuntu 13.04 started giving this problem to me. The version I'm using is a fresh install of ubuntu 13.04 amd64 plus all the updates as of today and the home folder restored from an ubuntu 12.10 backup, but I don't think it could make the difference as the freeze happens also when logged as a clean user. I'm pretty sure this problem is cause of broadcom drivers (or broadcom related network stuff) because as soon as I blacklisted wl, mac80211 and cfg80211 modules and plugged in an usb ralink wifi card it stopped to freeze.

I haven't been able to get a picture of the kernel panic though. The kernel panic happens randomly, sometimes even during bootup. The reason why I know its from the wl driver is because, I was using the b43 driver back on hardy. When the new broadcom driver was released, I manually compiled it and installed it. The driver kept randomly causing kernel panics on my system. When I blacklisted the driver and reverted back to b43, no more kernel panics. I wiped my disk down and installed intrepid and set my system to use the new wl driver again. The kernel panics started all over again. When I changed to the b43 driver, the kernel panics disappeared. The system can sometimes run for 4/5 days before experiencing a kernel panic and at other times, I can get about 5 kernel panics in a day.

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
I have completely resolved (or worked around) this problem on my computer. I was having major problems with freezing and kernel panics. I was also losing my connection and not able to connect to certain wireless networks because of their encryption type. I tried switching between STA and bwfcutter multiple times. This might be a little too dramatic of a solution for some, but I was able to completely resolve the problem by simply replacing the wireless card in my laptop.The Intel 3945ABG works natively with Linux, and you can find it for about $10 online. With it, there is no need to install third party drivers! Ubuntu works on the first boot, no problems. It has saved me so many headaches with Fedora, openSuse, Mandriva, Arch, Gentoo, etc etc. Since switching, I haven't had a single kernel panic, and it's been several months. I know this isn't a solution to the problem--I just thought I'd throw the option out there to those who are interested.

I'm running 9.10 (Karmic 32-bit, kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae). My experience of this problem is that removing and reloading the STA module (wl) reliable yields kernel panics within 10 s - 5 minutes. This appears only to happen if the driver has been used (i.e., I've connected to a network) prior to removing the module. Both the 5.10.91.9 version of the module (from jockey) and the 5.60.xxx module available on the broadcom website have this problem. It's quite annoying because of another bug, where if I suspend at home, I can't resume and then connect to another network somewhere else without reloading the module / rebooting. -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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
[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
If I'm not mistaken, this is an issue with the Broadcom STA driver, specific to 64 bit operating systems. I have experienced identical, random kernel attacks in Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 and 10.4 Alpha2 as well as in Fedora 12 and openSuse 11.2. If I use the b43 fwcutter extractor, the panics do not occur. The drawback I have seen with the b43 tool however, is that it doesn't support as many wireless encryption types--for example, I cannot connect to a PEAP network at my office. It may be a completely different issue, but wireless in my Windows 7 64 bit OS even becomes unresponsive, requiring a complete reboot. Since the Broadcom STA driver is not open source, I don't believe there is anything the Ubuntu team can do about this problem. I encourage people to submit this issue to the Broadcom team by emailing linux-wlan- client-support-l...@broadcom.com.

do about it. So blame Broadcom :-)
Normally Ubuntu uses most recent STA driver version. You can check that with
strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk '{print $2}'` | grep Broadcom.
What happens if you execute sudo iwconfig eth2 power off ?
You can put the latter in /etc/rc.local before exit 0 (run gksudo

Re: [Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
I looked at the tutorial page and I saw no mention of how to install the
broadcom sta driver. I'm not a german speaker so I just might have missed
it. In any case, the broadcom sta driver bundled in the ubuntu repositories
should work perfectly. The package you need to install for ubuntu 9.10 is
bcmwl-kernel-source http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/bcmwl-kernel-source.
Its the source package containing the broadcom sta driver. When installed,
dkms will configure it and voila, after a reboot, wireless works.
Good luck

Uploaded linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24_2.6.24.17-24.1 ** Description changed: + SRU justification: + + Impact: The current broadcom driver (wl.ko) seems to have several issues + during operation. Reported have been random crashes between 5 a day to + only 1 every 4 days. + + Fix: The latest driver from broadcom had positive feedback on Jaunty and has been released there. This is the backport of that driver for intrepid. + The same code is intended to get ported to Hardy LRM. This would sync up the Hardy codebase with the Intrepid and Jaunty layout. So this would yield bug fixes and ease maintenance. + + Changes are local to wl.ko only. + + Testcase: Generic usage will sometimes cause panics. + + --- + The new wl driver(Broadcom STA) randomly causes my Dell Inspiron E1505 to experience kernel panics. I haven't been able to get a picture of the kernel panic though. The kernel panic happens randomly, sometimes even during bootup. The reason why I know its from the wl driver is because, I was using the b43 driver back on hardy. When the new broadcom driver was released, I manually compiled it and installed it. The driver kept randomly causing kernel panics on my system. When I blacklisted the driver and reverted back to b43, no more kernel panics. I wiped my disk down and installed intrepid and set my system to use the new wl driver again. The kernel panics started all over again. When I changed to the b43 driver, the kernel panics disappeared. The system can sometimes run for 4/5 days before experiencing a kernel panic and at other times, I can get about 5 kernel panics in a day. I googled around and found a few people on both the ubuntu and debian forums having the same problem with different systems and different broadcom cards but same driver. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: In Progress = Fix Committed -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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'm setting this back to confirmed for Jaunty because it does NOT work
on my DELL 1535. I've just now the updated driver (took a long time to
get to the repos) and the machine hangs once connected. The best I can
say is that while the machine used to hang immediately upon connecting
to the secure WAP, it now survived to load this page (I was hoping to
report that it worked). Using dg's trick to prove the right one is
installed,
$ strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk {'print $2'}` | grep Broadcom

I can include a screen shot showing that it is active, if you like!
FWIW, I will include /var/log/messages covering the failure and reboot
(reboot at 15:23).

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
Tested today with up-to-date Jaunty. For what it's worth, I do not see
Tim's patch; dg's strings trick gives me
$ strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk {'print $2'}` | grep Broadcom
%s: Broadcom BCM%04x 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.27.11
That's the bad news. The good news is that nothing else is broken.
Here's the complete test
Fresh Intrepid install from recently downloaded production CD; brought
up-to-date with update-manager; no backports, no proposed.
Made sure Broadcom driver deactivated.
Upgrade to Jaunty (update-manager -d), bring up to date, cleaned out all
leftovers with Synaptic and with cruft remover.
Insert RetailPlus+ (ZyDAS WLA-54L) - connects to WAP2 AES WAP OK -
network OK
Remove RetailPlus+ - OK
Turn on DELL wireless switch - turns on Bluetooth only
Turn off DELL wireless switch - OK
Activate Broadcom STA - OK
Insert RetailPlus+ - connects to WAP2 AES WAP OK - network OK
Remove RetailPlus+ - OK
Turn on DELL wireless switch - internal Broadcom and Bluetooth activated
OK
Connect to unprotected network via internal Broadcom - OK
Connect to WAP2 AES WAP via internal Broadcom - system FREEZE just after
connection established
BRS, turn off DELL wireless switch, reboot, use RetailPlus+, all OK.
So the problem is still there for me - but I don't see Tim's patch
anywhere - and nothing else is broken.

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
Installed Jaunty. With all updates applied as of 2003-09-23, problem persists. Kernel panics when connecting to WAP using WPA2 and AES. Possible light at end of tunnel: Intrepid panic freezes were total or near total - mouse would move, could move from vt to vt using ctrl-alt- fX, but system did not respond in any other way. With Jaunty, could go to vt, login (system accepted userid and password) but never reach shell (since no new processes could start). The attached /var/log/messages covers all of my comments on this bug. ** Attachment added: /var/log/messages http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24247784/messages -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
I confirm that many caps-lock-flashing freezes still occur with driver version 5.10.27.12 which is present in linux-restricted- modules-2.6.27-11-generic v2.6.27-11.16 and using AES/CCMP encryption on the wireless LAN. Following Urschl's update above, I went to http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php to get the latest driver version 5.10.79.10 and also the Patch for WPA-Enterprise hang. My concern with the patch is that it only addresses WPA Enterprise issues but I am using WPA2 Personal right now . Maybe it will still help? Anyway, I've installed the patched driver v.5.10.79.10 and no lockups so far (in the last 5 minutes :) I've included a short generic HOWTO for those interested in doing the same. It covers creating local source directory, getting the latest driver and patch (for 64-bit Linux), patching the code, building and installing the driver, and manually refreshing the currently loaded driver.

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
REGRESSION: The Broadcom patch stabilizes my internal WIFI but causes a freeze with an external WiFi NIC. DETAILS -- This morning I re-installed Intrepid on my DELL 1535 and applied all updates - system is now Intrepid up-to-date as of 2009-03-23. I followed dg's procedure (s/64/32/ in the wget and tar). Good news: Attempt to connect my WAP did NOT crash. Bad news: Could not connect to my WAP (but at least no crash). Really bad news: System froze as soon as I plugged in my external WiFi device. The external device is a RetailPlus+ USB adapter. Caveat: patch rejected the hunk at line 22, but I ignored that since it is the line that covers the CVS check-in header.

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
More details and uh, possible user error. When I reinstalled this morning, I forgot to enable the restricted driver. Having followed dg's procedure, I expect I installed it anyway (with the patch), but I thought it worth mentioning. At any rate, after the failure/regression, I attempted to use the normal restricted driver via System, Administration, Hardware drivers. That seemed to work, but it does mean I am no longer sure which driver I am using. One thing that is interesting: Yesterday, with a clean install brought up to date and Intrepid backports and proposed enabled and installed, I could turn off the internal Broadcom with the DELL WiFi switch, insert the RetailPlus USB adapter, and get WiFi that way. Now, with a clean up to date Intrepid, no backports or proposed, WiFi is disabled unless the DELL switch is on.

(I installed my system by booting from a USB key loaded with the current Canonical-provided UNR-image: http://oem- images.canonical.com/unr/unr-1.0.1.img) Is it normal that the Broadcom module (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-lpia/volatile/wl.ko) doesn't belong to any package (as per dpkg -S)? Are there any updated packages for lpia that I have overlooked? What would be needed to compile a newer version of the module myself?

They have also abstracted the ioctl code for kernels newer then 2.6.26. - LP: #292450 -- Tim Gardner tim.gard...@canonical.com Fri, 02 Jan 2009 13:32:48 -0700 ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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
[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
I found out it's something to do with the router setting of renew group key, when it was set to 1 hr, for example, after the router renews the group key, the wl driver becomes very unstable, or NM seems to be connected but actually not. My workaround is just change the renewal interval to 10hr, which solves the problem in most cases. -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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
[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
I'd like to echo the previous comment. The driver works until I try to connect to my schools wireless, which uses WPA2 TTLS with secondary PAP security. It kernel panics within seconds of trying to connect. Is there a Broadcom bug site we could be submitting this information to? I know for a fact this issue still exists in Jaunty and Intrepid. -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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
