Description Anton Shterenlikht 2013-02-13 11:40:00 UTC

At some, seemingly random points, the iwn driver
will stop working with this message:

iwn0: iwn_intr: fatal firmware error
firmware error log:
  error type      = "NMI_INTERRUPT_WDG" (0x00000004)

  tx ring 14: qid=14 cur=0   queued=0
  tx ring 15: qid=15 cur=0   queued=0
  rx ring: cur=13

After that a restart of the network is
required, i.e. /etc/rc.d/netif restart

It seems sometimes flipping the radio
switch a few times will lead to the same
problem.

Sometimes restarting network doesn't help,
and in some cases I have to restart it
3-4-5 times before the iwn works again:

Fix: 

This has been discussed briefly in this
thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2013-February/012748.html

It seems 9.1-release is also affected.
How-To-Repeat: 
Build a kernel with
device          iwn             # Intel 4965/1000/5000/6000 wireless NICs.
device iwn4965fw

Initialise the wlan device:

iwn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
        ether 00:21:5c:50:68:c3
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g
        status: associated
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/36Mbps mode 11g
        status: associated
        ssid eduroam channel 1 (2412 MHz 11g) bssid 00:3a:98:62:cd:a0

        bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS
        wme roaming MANUAL

Then use the wireless and see.
Maybe it crumbles more under load.
Try flipping the radio switch on and off
few times.

Assuming you have 4965 chipset, this seems to be some weird firmware
error. I see many users (including linux) reporting similar issues but
could not find any definitive solution.

At most you can try getting the latest firmware for your chipset and try it out.
Probably from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlegacy

Good luck,
Hiren

	Assuming you have 4965 chipset,

yes, I do:

iwn0@pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x11108086 chip=0x42308086 rev=0x61 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection'
    class      = network

iwn0: <Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965> mem 0xdf2fe000-0xdf2fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3

and I have:

device          iwn             # Intel 4965/1000/5000/6000 wireless NICs.
device iwn4965fw

in the kernel config.

	this seems to be some weird firmware
	error. I see many users (including linux) reporting similar issues but
	could not find any definitive solution.

	At most you can try getting the latest firmware for your chipset and try it out.
	Probably from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlegacy

# cat /usr/src/sys/modules/iwnfw/iwn4965/Makefile 
# $FreeBSD: head/sys/modules/iwnfw/iwn4965/Makefile 201209 2009-12-29 19:47:34Z rpaulo $

KMOD=   iwn4965fw
IMG=    iwlwifi-4965-228.61.2.24

.include <bsd.kmod.mk>
#

According to your link, this is the latest version.
However, there is a question mark (?) against it.
I don't know what it means, perhaps that they are
not sure if it works correctly.
I wonder if an earlier  version should be used instead?

Thanks

Anton

Comment 5 Anton Shterenlikht 2013-06-25 14:28:51 UTC

One thing I noticed is that this problem occurs
more often when running on battery, and less
frequently when running from mains. Could this
be related to some energy saving code?

Yeah, no harm in trying. :-)

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm experiencing the same issue
and it's happening way too often to ignore it.

Seems iwn causes panic now.

Comment 10 Rene Ladan freebsd_committer

I'm seeing the same (or quite similar) fatal firmware errors on my Acer 7738G with this chip:
iwn0: <Intel WiFi Link 5100> mem 0xf5200000-0xf5201fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3

This is on 10.0-RELEASE amd64, with firmware version iwlwifi-5150-8.24.2.2

Comment 11 amvandemore 2015-08-11 00:17:05 UTC

Same issue here:

FreeBSD m6600.galacticdominator.com 10.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.2-PRERELEASE #5 r286157: Sat Aug  1 10:22:41 CDT 2015     adam@m6600.galacticdominator.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/M6600  amd64

It has been occuring much more frequently after I upgraded to r286157.  Downing interfaces, powering off wireless, waiting 30 secs, upping interfaces seems a reliable way to recover.

batch change:

For bugs that match the following
-  Status Is In progress 
AND
- Untouched since 2018-01-01.
AND
- Affects Base System OR Documentation

DO:

Reset to open status.


Note:
I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.

Comment 13 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer

^Triage: is this still a problem on supported versions of FreeBSD?

Comment 14 Anton Shterenlikht 2025-02-07 06:51:44 UTC

no, not for me.

Comment 15 Rene Ladan freebsd_committer

(In reply to Mark Linimon from comment #13)
My comment relates to a laptop that I haven't used since 2015 or so and newer laptops use different drivers.
