But this here is the biggest issue so far: Occasionally (about twice per day so far), the wifi stops working. It still shows as connected in the net_applet, but no data is received. Trying to reconnect via the Network Centre or the Mageia Control Centre causes the system to freeze. I switched to a text console and found the following:
- Code: Select all
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to read firmware dump area: -16
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to reset chip: -5

ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to read device register, device is gone
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: firmware crashed! (uuid n/a)
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to read firmware dump area: -28
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to reset chip: -5
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: Could not init hif: -5
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to read device register, device is gone
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: firmware crashed! (uuid n/a)
... and so on. Rebooting the system fixes the problem, but only until the next time.
The device is detected as a QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter and uses the ath10k_pci driver. I haven't changed any of the driver options.
Can anything be done?
