I am on a fresh Arch install with linux 3.0.1-1, using the brcmsmac module. Initially, the wireless works for a few days. At some point, it will stop, outputing the following error repeatedly: Aug  7 09:55:27 localhost kernel: [  825.796697] ieee80211 phy0: wl0: fifo 0: descriptor error Aug  7 09:55:27 localhost kernel: [  825.796713] ieee80211 phy0: wl0: fatal error, re-initializing I can rmmod brcmsmac, reboot, shutdown, give it a few days, and start over and it will sometimes work. Other times, it will persist with the fifo errors. Please let me know you need additional log files. I had this problem since 2.6.38 and reinstalled Arch twice, thinking it was something with my setup that was done incorrectly but haven't been able to figure it out. I can't find another case of this error on the internet. #    lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)        Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:0510]  #  lsmod  | grep brc brcmsmac              594624  0 brcmutil                6563  1 brcmsmac mac80211              215605  1 brcmsmac cfg80211              160516  2 brcmsmac,mac80211 crc_ccitt               1331  1 brcmsmac Thank you Pedram
