Hi!
I have an asus nv56 with a Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4) wifi card, my kernel version is the 3.8.7-1 and I use Gnome with network manager.
I have a problem: I'm able to connect to a wifi network but every 1-2 mins the connection drops.
A dmesg says:

I think the problem is related to
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32249

Do you think that I have to install ipw2100-fw and/or ipw2200-fw package?
Offline
The driver for Intel centrino Wirless-N cards is iwlwifi, I cannot see how ipw2100/2200 could help you.
Do you live in a wifi-rich area? In other words, what is the output of
sudo iw dev wlan0 scan(change wlan0 if it's not the name of your wifi card).

First of all thanks for the reply.
I don't have iwlwifi, but linux-firmware, I think it's ok, I'm right?
Only tomorrow I can try your advice, now I have no wifi signal around me.
I'll keep you update.

I had a similar problem with an Atheros WIFI card (driver ath5k).
2 weeks ago I discovered that my WIFI router was set to channel 6 (the same as 7 other APs in range). Switching the router to another channel that's not used by other APs solved the problems for me.
In my environment, channel 3 proved to be the best choice, as all the other APs just used channels 1, 6 and 11.

Hi all,
I haven't a solution yet.
This, as you can guess, is a big issue for me.
I tried to connect to another wpa network and I wasn't able to get something working, even if the kernel didn't return that massages.
With other network (also wpa) I haven't problem and all works fine.
Please let me know if I can provide you additional information (log, hd information, configurations, etc).
Without wifi connection I have to switch to another distro and I don't want!!!
Thanks a lot.

Have you had a look at kernel module parameters for your wifi driver? Maybe there is some option you need to set when loading modules...
Offline
I tried to disable 11n in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf with:
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
but nothing changes.

I have news: a kernel developer said to me that it isn't a bug, but my problem.
He thinks that I'm probably running two instances of wpa_supplicant or something equally strange.
He saids this because dmesg returns:
[ 1756.822019] wlp3s0: deauthenticating from 74:ea:3a:cd:28:42 by local choice (reason=3)
I haven't idea about this strange situation...does anyone have some tips to how understande what is happening?

What do you think about?

If you're using NetworkManager, try disabling net-auto-wired and net-auto-wireless...

I solved all my problems.
I had more of one service that tried to manage the wifi.
I solved with:
systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
systemctl disable net-auto-wired.service
systemctl disable net-auto-wireless.serviceThanks!
