[RESOLVED] Linux 3.2 bug rt2800pci

I've been trying to handle this myself for a while but I'm making no progress. I've tried looking for known issues (any known issues) with the rt2800pci driver, but most results are from when rt2800sta was still in use, with almost nothing since. There recently have been a number of issues with other drivers, but none of their solutions have helped me. There are some bugs (mostly old) posted for rt2800pci, but nothing like what I'm dealing with, so I added one.
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything like what's described below or if they have any ideas on a solution. I'm not really sure what can be done now, if there's anything I can do now. Unlike many people here, I really, don't like the idea of downgrading. It feels like defeat.
------------------------------The Problem------------------------------
The driver for my NIC chokes after too much data is passed through it.
The NIC:
05:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI
Subsystem: Ralink corp. Device 2860
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 32 (500ns min, 1000ns max), Cache Line Size: 4 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 19
Region 0: Memory at fbef0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)
Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-
Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci
"Too much data": I can maintain a mostly (possibly for a few hours) stable connection if I throttle the network traffic to between 7 and 10 kb/s up and down; however, prolonged traffic at higher rates will cause the interface to
choke. The higher the rate, the quicker it happens. For example, rates up to and over 50 kb/s are possible but only for less than a minute. The exact amount of time seems to vary a bit. If the execessive network usage is brief enough, the interface seems to stay functional there after, but with a seemingly reduced threshhold.
"Choke": Ifconfig and iwconfig will continue to report the interface as being associated to an AP and having an IP address, but any attempts to reach the wider Internet or LAN (even the local gateway) will result in a pause followed by an unknown host error for any application that tries. Ifconfig and iwconfig's output remains constant, as if there's no problem, throught this whole process.
The reason I'm worried this could be a bug in the kernel and/or driver:
I found I can restart the interface's usefulness after choking, by reloading the driver module. However, it must be unloaded and reloaded twice. Once is not enough. These strange symtoms will continue --for as long as I try-- until I perform a second unload/reload cycle. That is to say I must:
# modprobe -r rt2800pci
# modprobe rt2800pci
# modprobe -r rt2800pci
# modprobe rt2800pci
# dhcpcd wlan0
before my connection will work again. I can do this an unlimited number of times to keep my connection running, but I do notice it sometimes breaks faster after several unload/reload cycles that happened close together.
Additionaly, I spot these errors over dmesg:
phy0 -> rt2800pci_mcu_status: Error - MCU request failed, no response from
hardware
rt2800pci 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A disabled

Firstly, thank you for your replies.

I tried the patch, it fails to compile here too. Hmm, it's a 2/2 patch, perhaps 1/2 is needed too. It kinda seemed like two separate patches, but maybe they're not. Let me check.
Indeed, the first patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wire … 85338.html defines TOKEN_WAKEUP, where my compilation failed. So apply both patches and try again.
Good to know. At first glance, 1/2 just looked like documentation. Give me a few to check.
Yes, 1/2 + 2/2 lead to a successful compile. On the plus side, my kernel seems to be working just fine and it's no longer throwing MCU errors.
An inspection via `dmesg | grep phy` gives me nicer looking messages about my NIC.

On the down side, I still have the same connection issues!
I doubted it would solve anything as I saw the MCU errors with older kernels, back when it was still working, but I hoped.

Thank you for the link. Since it lacked 'rt2800' in its title line, I passed it over for a closely related driver.
My browser claims to get the whole file each time I try, but the contents of the tarball aren't extractable. I don't know if the driver is corrupt on their end or if it's being damaged en route. I can't be sure of what's going on since they don't have a static link for me to point wget at (I hate those kinds of dl pages), so I'll have to try again with a live disc, to rule out the system's support for my NIC.
Here's a question I would like to throw by anyone who may be more knowlegeable on kernel inerworkings: could my problem be due to kmod? My network problems did start after a kernel upgrade, but module-init-tools was also replaced by kmod durring that system update. I'e been wondering if it's the kernel itself or the module handling faculties. As I said above, I did notice oddities in how the kernel module is loaded. ...it's hard to know for certain when both of those things were changed at once.
I would have tried switching back to module-init-tools, from kmod, to see if that's the case, but it looks like it's been pulled from the repos and I don't have it cached.

  • JNI+Linux+threads+Invocation=BUG?

    I have a very simple java program from Rob Gordon's JNI book. All the program does is create a thread that prints a text message periodically. However, the thread never starts if try to invoke the program from a C++ program using JNI. It will just hang forever.
    The program works fine if I invoke it with javac on Linux. It also works fine if I use JNI to invoke it from a C++ program on
    Windows 2K.
    Is this a JNI bug on Linux? Is there a workaround to it? Has anyone successfully created threads from a java program that was invoked from a C++ program on Linux?
    I've tried jdk1.3.0, 1.3.0, and 1.4.0 using various combinations of
    classic/libjvm.so, client/libjvm.so, and server/libjvm.so (whatever the difference may be) with no success.
    Below is the source:
    // InvokeWithThread.java
    import java.lang.Exception
    public class InvokeWithThread {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Hello from InvokeWithThread");
            SleepyThread s = new SleepyThread();
            s.start();
    class SleepyThread extends Thread {
        public void run() {
            int cnt = 0;
            try {
                while (cnt < 10 {
                    sleep(1000,0);
                    System.out.println("sleepy running...");
                    cnt++;
            } catch (Exception e) []
    }Any information on this topic is greatly appreciated.

    I too have same problem, but only on dual processor linux system.
    It works fine for single processor. I am using C++ for jni code.

  • The 10.6.2 upgrade hasn't yet resolved the google images bug

    I write for the second time and for the same bug: safari 4.0.4, even firefox 3.5, can't shows images in google images, blogspot blogs and google maps.

    if i understand your question correctly: this is not a safari or firefox issue. web developers have the hard time of trying to make their web sites run on all browser and OS. they have to modify the site so that is compatible with as many as possible. but it is impossible to accommodate all of them. it would help us if you gave us links with examples as i have not noticed any missing or disfigured images on any google site [on (windows running safari, firefox and internet explorer), or(mac running safari and firefox) or on my linux set up]

  • ORACLE ON LINUX HAS SERIOUS BUG! IS NOT FAILSAFE COMMIT!!!

    I made one experiment to make sure in failsafety on Oracle/Linux.
    I tried to turn off the computer after commit, when "Commit
    complete" message was appeared.
    See a link on my last report:
    http://f2.dejanews.com/oracletechnet/nonmembers/index.cgi?do=show
    msg&conf=Early.Linux&msg=3953&show=unread&depth=all
    This experiment finished with bad result:
    Oracle for Linux can not be used for any more or less
    responsible applications!
    I tried to use filesystem with sync option and I tried to use
    waitfor_sync parameter in "init.ora" file.
    All of above without result. Oracle does not remember the data
    last commited transactions. Oracle does not write commited data
    on disk during about 1-3 sec period after the message "Commit
    complete" appeared.
    What do the Oracle Team say about this bug?

    Davinci Resolve Lite is having cache and gallery writing permission problems , have you also this problem if yes hope for a fix soon.

    Allready done and also send feedback to Apple plus post the problem in my evaluation on the App Store.

  • [fixed] cannot resolve "linux 3.5", a dependency of ...

    Just received this error, it seems the '< should have been '<='?
    This results in a system which I cannot update, even ignoring open-vm-tools-modules makes pacman stop with an error.
    Ah, I now know what is wrong, the community repo was updated seconds after the core repo, resulting in multiple errors, first the old `open-vm-tools-modules` not being compatible with the new `linux`  package, so I ignored `open-vm-tools-modules`, and ran -Syu again (where the `community` repo was updated), resulting in the same problem, which was actually already fixed
    Running Syu without any ignores gives me new `linux` and new `open-vm-tools-modules` package, which work fine together

  • How can I resolve this weird timeline bug ?

    Hi !
    I'm currently editing a feature film, using Premiere Pro CS6. This means a lot (a loooooooot) of clips, audio et video. But for a few days now, I encounter a strange bug, occuring exclusively on the audio part of the timeline... The problem being very hard to describe (especially for a french frog like me :-) ), I made a screen print of it : http://www.flickr.com/photos/95364114@N02/8694919869/in/photostream . So three problems here :
    - The audio clips does not always match the video clips, visually I mean (when I play them, they do match).
    - The vertical red lines occurs when I move the red reading tape (sorry, I don't know the english word for it)
    - The horizontal black lines, occuring when I scroll up and down through the audio tracks.
    The thing is, if I click in the video track when this problem happens, sometimes everything comes back to normal, other times it doesn't. And even if it comes back to normal, it will happen again whenever I move through the timeline... It's more of a visual problem : if I read the clips, they are just as I edited them. But it's still a very annoying problem whenever I want to check a part of the movie, or trim a clip or whatever...
    If anyone knows any solution to this, it would be more than great !
    PS : Oh, and it's apparently not a project size problem : the project's weight was 200 Mo, I cleaned it up, and it's now weighing 85 Mo... but the issue still occurs !

  • Some FTP issues resolved - Linux at Google

    Success! I changed my hosting account operating system with Google to Linux yesterday and today published my iWeb '09 web page without problems. Also, the TEST button in the Site Publishing Settings worked flawlessly, giving me a message that the host is receiving files and it is ready to publish.
    I then had success in publishing the entire web site and success in publishing with only the changes I made.
    Wow! I left Windoz years ago because of all the problems it had, now it seems to still be haunting me. I suggest you change GoDaddy's setting in their account dialog to reflect Linux as the operating system.
    I still wish there was some way to publish to the root directory so my URL would read www.name.com and not www.name.com/main.Welcome. - but that may just be the artist in me.
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

  • Small bugs in software on iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1

    Hi, since I upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.1 a few days ago, I have noticed a couple of small problems/bugs, and was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. One problem is, before iOS 4.1, when I was running the 3.1.2 software, my wifi signal "strength" indicator would usually show full bars for our home wifi network. Now, with the iOS 4.1 upgrade, the wifi signal strength generally (with the same network) shows as being one bar less than maximum.
    The other problem is a bug with listening to song previews in the "iTunes" app. I'm pretty sure that before the 4.1 software, I could tap a song once and the preview would start playing pretty quickly. Now, however, this works about one out of five times, and the rest of the time the "spinning indicator" spins for ages, and the only way it will play a song preview is if I tap the name of the song again. This is just a minor annoyance, but ideally it would be good to have the feature working as well as it did in the 3.1.2 software.
    Has anyone else experienced these problems with iOS 4.1 on an iPhone 3G? And could it be to do with the fact that I upgraded an existing install of iPhone OS (for instance, if I was installing Mac OS X and I was having problems, I'd do a clean install instead of an upgrade install)? Could it be worth trying to set up the phone as a new phone to try and avoid these problems? Many thanks,
    Arko Chakrabarty

    One thing about this update, that is supposed (among other things) to resolve the iPhone 3G bugs:
    well, it is better, but not yet perfect! Some slowliness and freezes left!
    Come on, Apple guys (and girls), go for it!!! Get iPhone 3g a real update! You know you can do it Please??
    Oh, one more thing:
    the iPhone 3G is my wife's. I now have an iPhone4. And with the 4.0.2 update, I saw some slowliness. Just a little bit, of course, not like the iPhone 3G! Well, cout that be a lead?

  • Linux webcam resolution in flash

    Hello
    I am using PartyBooth software (www.partyboothapp.com) that I purchased through adobe AIR.  This is a simple application that lets you use a webcam to run a photobooth.
    I have 3 cameras that are very well supported in Linux:
    1) Logitech Webcam Pro 9000
    2) Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro
    3) Microsoft Lifecam Cinema
    All 3 of these cameras work at full resolution in every linux app that I have used (including skype)
    However, in this flash-based program (PartyBooth), the cameras will only work at 240x240 resolution, which is way too low to take reasonable pictures.
    All 3 of these cameras are capable of HD resolutions, and again, all resolutions work in  other applications! (Note: these are all UVC compliant cameras)
    Is there a way to test if this is either:
    A) A bug in Flash Player 10 for Linux
    B) A bug in the PartyBooth applicaion
    thanks for any help I can get!
    Jon

    I have this problem in all flash applications.
    My camera uses v4l2 subsystem and UVC interface and has native resolution 640x480. In other programs (not flash, i.e. skype, guvcview) it starts to capture in 640x480 by default.
    And if I start web browser (firefox or chrome) with preloading v4l1 compatibility library:
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so firefox
    flash starts to capture in 640x480. So it can be used as workaround before v4l2 support in flash will be fixed.

  • Null Pointer Exception using JDBC-ODBC bridge on Linux

    Wonder if anyone can help me with this one?
    I am attempting to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge on Fedora with J2SDK 1.4.2_04, however I am getting a NullPointerException whenever I get the connection. I can get the JDBC connection to work but it is a requirement that ODBC be used.
    The code is as simple as it can get.
    import java.sql.*;

    The UnsatisfiedLinkError suggests to me that a library cannot be found, but I don't know what library.
    As far as I know I have configured ODBC correctly. I can achieve connectivity to my database using other tools and I still get this same error irrespective of whether the DSN is valid or not.
    I have installed the unixODBC rpm.

  • 2.01 Did not fix long backup bug for me.  What do I need to do?

    Hi,
    The update has not corrected the long backup time bug for me. Started a backup 30 mins ago and based on the progress bar it will run for at least another 2.5 hours. I don't understand how it can take that long to backup less than 8GB of information. Do I need to change a setting or delete old iTunes backup files to get this process working correctly. Most of the other bugs I encountered with version 2.0 seem to be resolved but this backup bug is a time waster. Do I need to take the phone and my mac to the Apple store and have them look at it?
    Thanks,
    D

    You can cancel the backup process by hitting the x in the progress window and it will go directly to the sync if it is taking it too long.

  • Javascript Adobe Reader problem in some linux distributions

    Adobe Reader doesn't execute initial javascript code of 3D scene in pdf document. With friends we've tested several linux distributions, namely CentOS, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Mandriva, OpenSUSE. Also several Adobe Reader versions like 9.4.6 or 9.1. No luck. For some reason though, it works fine in Fedora (with exactly the same Adobe Reader). Here is an example pdf for test: http://www.2shared.com/document/LIbyWm_ … _dice.html . Just open the mysterious_dice.pdf and you should see a rotating dice. If you dont, javascript wasn't executed properly (it should be easy to check in Windows 7/XP or Fedora).
    We thought that something is wrong in Reader settings (like disabled javascript), but javascript was always allowed. Then that maybe it is linux Adobe Reader bug, but again, why does it work in Fedora? So maybe some package(s) or something.
    Another example is the Asymptote application, which uses javascript at the beginning for some scene settings (lights, camera position, etc) and especially with orthographic projection this problem shows up. More about this here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/asympto … ic/4021157.
    Any idea what might be wrong with this? I will just add that javascript later on works, only the initial code is ignored. Thanks for any suggestion.

    Interesting, just to be sure, was your dice spinning around? If it was, then it really works. My friend with Arch i686 just tried it with Adobe Reader 9.4.2, same settings and the dice was static. He provided also screenshot to show how it looks on his system together with some info:
