Shane, could you please test for this in the newest mainline kernel via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11-rc3-saucy/ and advise if the problem is reproducible?
** Description changed: The wifi/bluetooth chip that the MS Surface Pro uses, a Marvell avastar 88W8797, does not work properly under Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04. On 13.04, it will be reported three times in the network manager and any attempt to connect to any network will fail, regardless of the settings of the network. Additionally attempting to connect to any of the three listed connections will cause the system to hang on shutdown, as well as any attempt to read the state of the network. - - Some of the errors during shutdown that I have noticed: - Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0c24 tx timeout - Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0c52 tx timeout - - A workaround has been posted for 12.10, but does not seem to work - properly under 13.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/257600/marvells- - wireless-driver-not-recognized. The workaround is not an ideal way of - interfacing with wifi networks. - - Relavent discussions that may be of some use: - http://askubuntu.com/questions/265644/dual-boot-surface-pro-with-ubuntu, - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158490 - - ==================================================== - Here is the output of iwconfig: - - p2p0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any - Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated - Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off - Encryption key:off - Power Management:on - - uap0 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Master - Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off - Power Management:on - - mlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any - Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated - Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off - Encryption key:off - Power Management:on - - ==================================================== - Here is the output of iwlist scan: - - http://pastie.org/private/rtt1qotgee7k3ciqhborqq - - ==================================================== - Here is the output of lsb_release: - - Distributor ID: Ubuntu - Description: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) - Release: 13.04 - Codename: raring - - ==================================================== - Here is the output of lshw -C network: - - *-network - description: Wireless interface - physical id: 1 - bus info: firewire@3 - logical name: p2p0 - serial: 60:45:bd:e1:65:94 - capabilities: ethernet physical wireless - configuration: broadcast=yes driver=usb driverversion=3.8.0-16-generic firmware=N/A link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn ==================================================== Here is the output of modinfo mwifiex_usb: filename: /lib/modules/3.8.0-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/mwifiex_usb.ko firmware: mrvl/usb8797_uapsta.bin license: GPL v2 version: 1.0 description: Marvell WiFi-Ex USB Driver version1.0 author: Marvell International Ltd. srcversion: 73D8AC7543BD1766913AD58 alias: usb:v1286p2044d*dc*dsc*dp*icFFiscFFipFFin* alias: usb:v1286p2043d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* depends: mwifiex intree: Y - vermagic: 3.8.0-16-generic SMP mod_unload modversions + vermagic: 3.8.0-16-generic SMP mod_unload modversions ==================================================== Here is the output of ls /lib/firmware/mrvl: total 1656 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 28 13:01 ./ drwxr-xr-x 57 root root 4096 Apr 4 22:22 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 259172 Mar 28 13:01 sd8688.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2616 Mar 28 13:01 sd8688_helper.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 447384 Mar 28 13:01 sd8787_uapsta.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 458108 Mar 28 13:01 sd8797_uapsta.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 508372 Mar 28 13:01 usb8797_uapsta.bin - - ==================================================== - Here is the contents of /etc/network/interfaces: - - # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) - auto lo - iface lo inet loopback - - ==================================================== - Here is the output of uname -a: - - Linux shane-surface-ubuntu 3.8.0-16-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 1 - 19:52:57 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux - - ==================================================== - Here is the output of lsusb: - - Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.
