kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 breaks wifi

[Christian Menzel]

Hi,

the kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 update broke the wifi on my Lenovo X220 (Intel(R)
Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN, REV=0xB0).
The system detects and connects to a wireless lan, but after some minutes
the system cannot connect to other hosts anymore.
The wifi icon still shows and the system still has an ip-address but all
pings answer 'destination unreachable'.
After stopping/starting wifi the Internet connection will stay for a short
time before failing again.

For me kernel 3.2.2 is unusable and I went back to 3.2.1.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Chris

Different wireless card, slightly different problem:
kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64 - card wont scan
kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 - works

Coincidence?

Best added to the appropriate bug report so the people working on it
have this information.

For what it's worth, the situation is *slightly* improved with 3.2.3.
Instead of completely losing contact with the WiFi card after a few
hours, the system loses the WPA authentication.

Here's the log at that point:

In my machine (HP Probook 4515s) completely unbootable - and dies on
boot with kernel panic.

Yes, I'm seeing exactly the same issue here.
Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 3e)

Backing out to kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16 works around the problem here.

OT: Re: kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 breaks wifi

Kernel 3.2.1 broke my nilfs2 support also. Went back to 3.1.9 and now back to good.
I'll try out 3.2.2 later today to see if that's fixed.
I'd suggest to the kernel package maintainers that they should either keep backward
compatibility by compiling all the kernel & module options in as they would have in
their previous release, or at least keep the stuff they had moved out of the main kernel
by making kmod/akmod packages to keep the optional stuff around for those who want it
