[RESPONDED] WiFi driver failing randomly [iwlwifi] (12th Gen, Fedora 37)

nadb · March 16, 2023, 11:57am

I would verify this with an inline usb-c power meter if you have one. I encountered numerous charging related issues with a variety of docks claiming more power than they were actually capable of delivering. I have measured 12th gen pulling up to almost 74w.

I would begin by trying to force load the module with modprobe, though based on what you have posted I don’t think this will work.

Are you using TLP, power-profiles-daemon, or any other power management software?

Do you perhaps have additional powersave settings such as in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf ?

Also I did notice OOM is off and no RAM total in your inxi (I could be missing it), finally are you using btrfs, lvm, or an old school partitioning scheme? Also have you tried opening the laptop, reseating the wifi card, and verifying the antenna are properly connected?

I unfortunately don’t have a USB-C power meter. The battery is UEFI limited at 60% and stays plugged in most of the time so shouldn’t every draw much. However, in my test on kernel 6.1.18 I disconnected the eGPU so that wouldn’t have effected the results.

I’m currently using kernel 6.1.15 so the modules do load and I have some sort of working WiFi. Can you please clarify which kernel you would like me to force modprobe on (perhaps 6.1.18), and on which modules (perhaps iwlmvm and iwlwifi)?

I’m not using any third-party power management software and Gnome is currently in the default “Balanced” power mode.

That file doesn’t exist on my system, so I likely haven’t tinkered with the iwlwifi configuration before.

I haven’t manually configured OOM on/off, so it is either in its default position or I have executed something which has changed it at some point.

I have 32GB RAM, it’s shown on the second to last line of inxi.

I’m using BTRFS which I believe has been the default for the past few years on Fedora’s installer.

I would give that a try. This behavior is very odd.

I would temporarily disable it. In my experience the power-profiles-daemon (default gnome) is hot garbage. Disabling it and stopping the service will at least eliminate the possibility of it doing something under the hood to break the wifi. Then try with the latest kernel again and see if you can activate the module with modprobe. If that does not work…

CAUTION: I recommend updating to the 3.06 beta uefi. Prior to upgrading I experienced a variety of odd behaviors, and issues with both thunderbolt 3 and thunderbolt 4 docks. While I still have some minor issues with thunderbolt 4 mostly related to display detection on a cold boot (removing the cable and reinserting fixes this), my thunderbolt 3 experience has become flawless. So why the big caution some users have experienced some issues…and based on reading the thread it is my opinion that 99.99% of those experiencing issues did not follow the directions EXACTLY. So if you decide to give this a try please RTFM and then follow it EXACTLY.

Basically outside of reseating the wifi card and verifying the antenna is connected properly I would also change the script slightly by changing the “sleep 1” line to “sleep 10” in case your system is taking longer to restart NetwrokManager" and trying that.

Outside of that in combination with your egpu issues I can’t help but begin to think this is an issue with the uefi/bios. Yes I wish they would release a stable versions already, and I also wish they would get on a set released schedule for BIOS updates but we got what we got at this time. Outside of that a fresh install might help? In short if your system is not completely up to date you can’t be sure it is not being caused by one of those components…speaking of components your card could be going bad…but at this stage I kind of doubt that.

@Matt_Hartley @Loell_Framework any ideas?

I’ve been rebooting my laptop and swapping kernels many times whilst troubleshooting my eGPU (which is now working! ) and I’m currently on kernel 6.1.18, posting this comment. WiFi is working. I haven’t modprobed anything or changed any power management options yet.

I’ve rebooted a couple times on kernel 6.1.18 and my WiFi is working both when my eGPU is connected and disconnected.

I’m really not sure what’s happened but all is seemingly well now.

I’ll report back if my WiFi randomly stops working on kernel 6.1.18 or fails altogether on boot as it was doing earlier today.

Loell_Framework · March 16, 2023, 10:10pm

Great to hear that it’s mostly working with kernel 6.1.18 @groundwork , let us know if wifi randomly stops and perhaps we can do dmesg to check what might be happening in the background. just wondering have you tried earlier or later kernel apart from the ones you mentioned? 6.1.18 and 6.1.15?

@nadb good suggestion on Sleep 10 with the script, as networkmanager may take a bit more seconds to instantiate.

groundwork · March 18, 2023, 9:01pm

My WiFi has stopped working randomly a couple more times on kernel 6.1.18. Here is the dmesg output: hastebin

I tried to reboot on the same kernel, but WiFi stayed broken from boot. I then tried to sudo modprobe -r iwlmvm; sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi; sudo modprobe iwlwifi; sudo modprobe iwlmvm but the WiFi options in the UI would not come back, even after restarting NetworkManager. I then rebooted again, and WiFi was working, which is how I’m posting this now.

I have not done any proper testing on any other kernels, however I have been experiencing WiFi dying (until the machine is rebooted) periodically on older kernels. This is strange as I’m 3 metres from the router with no obstructions.

Loell_Framework · March 20, 2023, 10:03pm

hi @groundwork ,

Is the dmesg output capture right after Wireless has stopped working? If it is, possible to get previous 100 lines before that log entry? we might have additional info.

groundwork · March 20, 2023, 11:46pm

The capture was very soon after I realised WiFi had stopped working again.

I piped dmesg to xclip and pasted it which I assume would provide the full output, so I’m not sure how to access those previous 100 lines.

Matt_Hartley · March 24, 2023, 6:57pm

Hi @groundwork

With fresh eyes, took a second look at the original post. This was a tricky one and it took us a bit to get our heads around it.

Then after a little grep-ing, I found:

10:16:22 hostname kernel: iwlwifi 0000:a6:00.0: Error sending STATISTICS_CMD: time out after 2000ms.

Just on a hunch and a whim, try this, then reboot. Yes, this is usually an Ubuntu thing - but I have tested this working before (be it rarely needed).

gnome-text-editor admin:///etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi-powersave.conf

Ignore the error in the terminal, tab out to the text editor now open. Make this a thing by adding this:

[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2

Save the file, reboot.

Once rebooted, let’s check our work:

iw dev | grep Interface | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I {} iw {} get power_save

You should see:
Power save: off

groundwork · March 26, 2023, 1:03pm

Interesting idea. I have put off applying your suggestion as I recently upgraded to kernel 6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64 and had hoped that may improve the situation.

However, this morning whilst watching a YouTube video only a few minutes after booting, whilst plugged into an eGPU and trickle charging at my 60% UEFI battery limit, the WiFi issue occurred again.

I have now applied the powersave change you suggested above and will report back with journal logs if the WiFi issue occurs again.

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi-powersave.conf
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2

$ iw dev | grep Interface | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I {} iw {} get power_save
Power save: off

groundwork · March 26, 2023, 2:44pm

@Matt_Hartley Unfortunately iwlwifi failed even after the powersave configuration was applied.

The system had been online for a few hours and was in the same state as my previous message where I was trickle charging and streaming video, except with more multitasking this time.

Here is the journal log:

I just woke my Framework from a long suspend on battery power and WiFi was still working, so it’s possible the powersave workaround helps prevent iwlwifi from failing on waking from suspend but does not help with it failing during usage.

Matt_Hartley · March 28, 2023, 12:40am

Sounds like it may be indeed, it’s what I use. So long as this:

iw dev | grep Interface | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I {} iw {} get power_save

Indicates:

Power save: off

You should be fine. It’s what I use on all my Fedora installs.

Mapleleaf · March 28, 2023, 2:11am

Could be an instable physical connection of the wifi card, or antenna etc…

Maybe it was borderline ok until recently, and some move nudged it towards a bad connection.

Just to be on the safe side, you can maybe try to reseat the wifi card, and maybe check the antenna cables connection.

Matt_Hartley · March 29, 2023, 4:44pm

Excellent advice! This is a good place to go from as well, in addition to the details requested above.

groundwork · March 29, 2023, 7:36pm

Whilst swapping out the SSD (for another project) inside the Framework I did ensure the antennas and WiFi card were snug and secure, but I have not yet fully disconnected and reconnected them. The cables on the right hinge seem to be under quite a lot of strain and I’m wondering if the antenna goes through the hinge, and if so, if it could have become damaged.

I applied your powersave suggestion a few messages ago. If I have missed something else, please let me know.

Mapleleaf · March 29, 2023, 8:51pm

However I’m not sure how a damaged antenna could generate the errors you got in dmesg… I would rather think it is the wifi card itself…

groundwork · July 26, 2023, 8:37pm

My WiFi has been mostly working over the last few months, however there have been instances where the wifi adapter has failed and not been displayed in the UI. I didn’t properly log these occurrences so cannot remember if they were all boot time, waking from suspend, mid-usage, or a mix of those.

I reseated and re-cable managed the WiFi chip and its antennas a few weeks ago, and it has all been mostly working flawlessly since then.

I’m currently running kernel 6.4.4-200.fc38.x86_64 with the only recent change to kernel args being the addition of tpm_tis.interrupts=0 and the removal of rhgb quiet.

WiFi worked on my first 1-2 boots of this kernel, but on my third and subsequent boots I saw errors during bootup, or there would be no errors and the adapter would be found but a few seconds after login there would be a few seconds of system freeze followed by the adapter disappearing.

I used to be able to boot into kernel 6.4.4 following the errors but now it gets stuck there. I can boot with kernel 6.3.12, but the wifi adapter is not found

The wifi adapter is also absent when booting a fedora liveboot usb on kernel version 6.0.7.

Pictures:

Here is some dmesg output from the liveusb:

After rebooting out of the liveusb (into my internal drive) on kernel 6.4.4, the wifi adapter is found and working. EDIT 15 minutes later: there was a system freeze, i managed to move to another tty session and back after about 30 seconds, but wifi was no longer working. Another freeze occurred when I attempted to toggle wifi off and on again. I managed to move to another tty which printed loads of stack traces, I got a picture of what was currently on the screen.

After rebooting, the wifi adapter UI looked good, but freezes were occurring and wifi was not working. Here’s dmesg:

After rebooting again (same latest kernel), the wifi option from the UI has simply disappeared again, no freezes, but also no wifi.

I then booted a known good Windows drive which has had working wifi with this machine in the past, but this time it didn’t:

I then reseated the wifi card and booted linux, and wifi worked.

It would seem the issue is unrelated to the kernel version/args, and could be an intermittent hardware failure that is resolved by either leaving the system alone long enough to fully power down, or by disconnecting and reconnecting the wifi chip.

I see “HW failure” in some of the logs, does my Framework simply have a faulty WiFi chip? I have been experiencing these issue intermittently for months.

Please advise.

Matt_Hartley · July 27, 2023, 12:44am

This feels like it could likely be a faulty card. If this continues, do open a ticket and link to this thread for context as to what you’ve done with troubleshooting.

groundwork · September 16, 2023, 4:03pm

Framework Support shipped me a replacement WiFi card which I installed and have been using for about a day.

Due to the intermittent nature of my issue, only time will tell if it has been resolved, although I’m optimistic.

However, a few minutes ago my laptop unexpectedly went into suspend whilst I was typing away (60% battery, charging). I noticed iwlwifi in the system journal, so I’ll share the logs below for documentation purposes, although I currently don’t think much of it.
