Scheduling firmware restart." Status in Linux: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux-source-2.6.22 package in Baltix: Invalid Status in linux package in Fedora: Invalid Bug description: /**** ATTENTION **** I believe this issue is specific to the error that a chipset that is not 802.11G capable will return when it picks up an a beacon from a router that is not mixed-mode, but 802.11G specific. Please verify. Remove mixed-mode from your G routers, and see if you can get this repeated. Then add back mix mode and see if it goes away and if you're connected with 802.11B. ****/ [ Current Status ] The ipw2100 driver was last updated on 2007-01-31. That tarball release contained an issues file that described this particular bug: Firmware restart is detected randomly ---------------------------------- After running one or two days, Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection driver will only occasionally restart the firmware. "ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart" To resolve this problem, the system must be rebooted. Defect #329 [ Original Description ] Since I've upgrade to Breezy, ipw2100 driver no longer works and in dmesg I've got plenty "Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart." I'm always able to do an iwlist : % sudo iwlist eth1 scanning eth1 Scan completed : ... Cell 02 - Address: 00:07:CB:51:65:E0 ESSID:"gaspard" Protocol:IEEE 802.11b Mode:Master Channel:11 Encryption key:on Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Extra: Rates (Mb/s): 1 2 5.5 11 Quality=92/100 Signal level=-36 dBm Extra: Last beacon: 31ms ago But the card no longer register. It stays "unassociated" whatever I've tried : % sudo iwconfig eth1 essid gaspard key open XXXXXXXXXX mode auto % sudo iwconfig eth1 eth1 unassociated ESSID:"gaspard" Nickname:"ipw2100" Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:off Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:4D7E-7ED3-1D Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Sometimes, it works for a short time and after half an hour or an hour, it crash again. I've tried to upgrade ipw2100 and the firmware. No way.
