WI-FI error on pacman update freezes network

arhe · 2019-07-02 18:37:48

Hi everyone,

I have a weird issue with wifi and Pacman. Whenever I run full system upgrage, the following happens:

1) Wifi throws an error

[ 7631.486513] brcmsmac bcma0:1: wl0: 12 rx fifo 0 overflows!

2) Network stops working until I restart netctl profile

The weirdest thing that I see similar wifi driver error all the time, but they don't freeze my network. I noticed this only during pacman upgrades.

There is nothing else in dmesg, netcl profile is active, wireless adapter is up.

I have broadcom card

lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
12:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1520 Half-size Mini PCIe Card [1028:000e]
        Physical Slot: 0-1
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
        Memory at fbb00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
        Kernel modules: bcma

Any help is highly appreciated!

Try the wl driver, also see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless

I've installed broadcom-wl and tried wl module as suggested. When using wl driver, I can't see my wifi access point. Neither in wifi-menu nor when using iw dev scan. Do you know what can be the reason for this?
