Wifi clients disconnect after update to 3.11.1

Hello,
from last update to 3.11.1 I have some troubles with WiFi. Clients on wlan can’t connect to WiFi after some time. I have to reboot my Omnia. Then it works again.
I found this in /var/log/messages:

Can you look at it, please?

Thanks

I expect it’s the same as in this CZ thread: Padající Wi-Fi připojení

Tak to si Michelle pocte…;-\

I had checked she had posted in Czech already :wink:

Hello,
We cannot be sure, if this is the same problem or not. From the mentioned thread only one guy sent email to Support. However, we don’t have diagnostics, so it’s really difficult to tell what’s happening as we haven’t touch default Wi-Fi drivers in releases 3.11 and 3.11.1.

From the OP, I cannot see any issue what will cause disconnecting clients and if it happens on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The output is from ath10k, which meant that it couldn’t find the firmware files and fallbacking to other firmware files and in the end it found the firmware.

It happened again. I can see new message in /var/log/messages:

2019-01-11 15:43:51 warning ddns-scripts[18017]: myddns_ipv4: Get registered/public IP for mydomain.cz failed - retry 145/0 in 60 seconds

I’m using myddns for change A record for my domain.

and I can have full log of this message:

2019-01-11 15:51:28 warning dnsmasq-dhcp[3727]: DHCP packet received on vethMJYJ00 which has no address
2019-01-11 15:51:45 warning dnsmasq-dhcp[3727]: DHCP packet received on vethMJYJ00 which has no address

One note: I’m also using squid for some PC’s. And all PC’s which use squid as proxy work! Currently I’m not in the place of the Omnia.

This seems more of a routing issue and perhaps only WiFi related if vethMJYJ00 is enslaved with the same bridge as the WiFi ifaces in question.

Does vethMJYJ00 belong to squid or some other daemon? Those clients with connectivity working through squid are connecting over LAN or WLAN?


and nit-picking - are the WLAN clients being really disconnected from the AP or rather remaining connected to the AP but traffic having ceased? If latter it might be another symptom of a routing issue.

I know it is weird but I solved this issue by enabling DNS forwading (and TLS Cloudflare). So it was some kind of DNS issue I suppose…
