Source: linux
Severity: normal

At times, the kernel fails to connect to some of the wifis around. It
throws the following in dmesg:

Dec 11 16:42:46 learner kernel: [60584.492135] ieee80211 phy0:
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the
non-full queue 0
Dec 11 16:42:46 learner kernel: [60584.492135] Please file bug report to
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com


The site mentioned is dead. I guess it may have to do with the fact that
ralink was merged to mainline, hence the bug report against this
package.



The most interesting bit is the workaround. To overcome the problem, I
need to reboot into Windows, and let it initialize the device with the
driver/firmware on Windows. Once done, I reboot into Linux and then can
connect to the same wifi.


I know this information is alone not enough. What additional information
can I provide ? This has been the case with all the recent kernels I've
used, 3.16 and 3.17.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
