Broadcom-wl - connection to the gateway freeze

sandromunda · 2014-04-23 09:09:46

Hello,

I have a mac book air 6.2 (mid 2013). My connection (Wifi) freeze every ~minute since a recent update. So, I completely scratch my system and now, I have a complete new fresh install. I have the same problem. My router is just beside me.

Here's a ping to my router gateway:

Here's my network card:

seyz:~/ $ lspci | grep Network

I use the `broadcom-wl` driver for my wifi card.

Anybody can help me?
Thanks.

Did the update upgrade your kernel?

Ditching the old installation was not a good idea and not necessary.

sandromunda · 2014-04-23 15:13:25

From my memories, yes: the kernel has been upgraded.

Rexilion · 2014-04-23 15:23:17

Try downgrading .

sandromunda · 2014-04-23 15:43:43

As I said, I completely reeinstall my archlinux

What does this have to do with the ability to downgrade the kernel?

Edit: FWIW, I have a BCM43228, and it works fine with 3.14.* as well as 3.15rc1. So it may not be a problem with the wl package itself, but rather that in combination with your HW. In any case, you'll definitely have to provide more information that model and ping output...

As a sanity check, what is the output of systemctl --Type=service --no-pager

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

25 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

That looks okay. I was checking that there was only one thing trying to control the network.
Nothing to see here, move along

Rexilion · 2014-04-23 18:38:12

Does your wifi use encryption? I don't see wpa_supplicant.

Yes, my wifi use encryption. I have installed wpa_supplicant package. To connect to my wifi, I use `wifi-menu`.

I downgraded my linux kernel to 3.12.9-2-ARCH thanks for the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ck_Machine repository.

seyz:~/ $ uname -a
Linux techtux 3.12.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 31 10:22:54 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Same issue. I have connection freeze

What kind of information do you need?

Rexilion · 2014-04-24 07:54:17

Do you, by any chance, have retained the update logs?

Furthermore, it's kind of odd that the issue is still there. Did it the upgrade also update linux-firmware?

Nope, no update log Sorry.

I'm trying to downgrade my linux, linux-headers, linux-api-headers and linux-firmware package (through Archlinux Rollback Machine).

sandromunda · 2014-04-24 08:29:22

Arf, the issue still there after downgrading

nekolyanich · 2014-09-24 13:22:17

Hi all,i have same issue on my MBA 6.2, but only when it connected via airport extreme. On other routers all works fine.

Rexilion · 2014-09-24 17:53:57

Maybe it's one of those mac specificfirmware tools that got upgraded?

Thanks.

Add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

blacklist bcma
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist ssb

and reboot. See if this helps.
