* Intel 7260 not working in 802.11n mode @ 2014-04-07 0:36 Jonathan McDowell 2014-04-07 5:00 ` Emmanuel Grumbach 0 siblings, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Jonathan McDowell @ 2014-04-07 0:36 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-wireless, Intel Linux Wireless Hi. I have an Intel 7260 that fails to associate correctly in 802.11n mode. Unfortunately I don't have any access to the AP in question, but I believe it is an ASUS based device. This is on the 5GHz band; there is some odd configuration with the router that results in the driver refusing to associate on the 2.4GHz setup with the following error: [ 507.495986] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: AP 30:00:da:b1:da:d0 beacon interval is 7, refusing due to firmware bug! On the 5GHz band the driver attempts to associate, but never seems to actually fully associate to the point of getting an IP. If I pass the 11n_disable=1 parameter to the driver then things work fine. I've put a debug log of the failure to associate (kernel 3.14 but this has happened with all the version I've tried) up at: http://the.earth.li/~noodles/iwlwifi-fail.log If there is more information I should be providing please let me know. I'm sure it's related to the AP in question as I've had successful 11n associations with other setups, but it's annoying to have to explicitly disable 11n when in this location and then not in others.

Ok - this is an interesting settings. I'll check with our firmware team what can be done here, but beacon interval=7 is really insane.

I wouldn't rule out the person who configured the AP having made a mistake; the MAC address is a custom one so they may have tweaked other settings too. However my phone (running Android) can connect to the 2.4GHz AP just fine and I think the other users of the AP are running Macs without problems. > > On the 5GHz band the driver attempts to associate, but never seems to > > actually fully associate to the point of getting an IP.

All I did was load the module with the debug parameter set, let Network Manager do its thing and wait for the connection to fail, then unload the module. NM is reporting that the DHCP times out - log at: http://the.earth.li/~noodles/iwlfail-nm.log I'd be blaming Network Manager or some other piece of configuration if it wasn't for the fact that disabling 11n makes things work. > Also - your AP seems to behave badly with uAPSD - can you try to set > power_scheme=1 as a module parameter to iwlmvm module?

Can you run tracing? sudo trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi -e iwlwifi_msg -e mac80211 -e cfg80211 this will create a trace.dat file which I'd like to look at.
