Wlan 5g not starting most of the time

Omnia hardware Omnia HW problems

Hi,

I just received my turris omnia and started configuring it, installing some software etc. After the next reboot suddenly my Wireless “ac” card (5ghz) was gone, In Luci it said it was disabled but pushing on enable/disable didn’t solve it and in foris it was completely invisible.

checking ifconfig showed that I wlan0 didn’t even exist as device. I rebooted the router around 3-4 times and suddenly 5g was back and working fine. Unfortunately on next reboot it was gone again.

What I also notice is that PCI2 doesn’t start blinking and also the router seems to be stuck somehow. If the WLAN fails to start also all DHCP functionaly and other stuff is now working.

What can I do to fix this?

Use reset mode 4 and flash firmware from https://api.turris.cz/openwrt-repo/omnia/omnia-medkit-latest.tar.gz

This sounds to me like a contact issue of a not fully inserted card.

I suggest opening the box and reseat the wifi card (and check the screws) as well. Some people reported loose screws.

This issue has been already discussed:

For me actually setting the right country in Luci via Edit -> Advanced settings and rebooting solved the issue:

Yeah this is extremely extremely frustrating. I cannot believe I paid $300 for a device that is so piss-poor right out of the box. The first time I noticed the issue with the 5G card not coming up, I removed it and put it into a debian netbook I have (Lenovo X120e) and it was detected fine and worked every boot. Then I suspected the actual TO board / card slot, which others have pointed out, don’t let the cards sit parallel with the board, so I reseated it a few times and tried minutely adjusting the angle of the card to ensure the slot pins and the card pads were dead on. Given that cz.nic was able to design this device from the ground up, there’s no excuse for the cards not sitting more properly in the slots, and it seems like they just made a poor choice with the standoffs and decided to just go with it versus doing it correctly.

I tried reflashing with the medkit image (which you will notice is dated November 7th – it’s now December 1, and there are several critical-path bugs reported on these forums so why the hell have these not been rolled up into a new restore image?)

I entered the bootloader and set my regdomain ( US ) but even seeding this info into the pre-boot environment hasn’t helped with the issue. On inspecting the serial console during boot there are error messages regarding the ath10k firmware files (will paste them at the of this reply) so I believe problem is a firmware issue, although I have tried another two versions of the ath10k firmware blobs that was linked to GitHub on another post I’ve seen on these forums reporting this issue.

CZ.NIC – you pulled in over a million dollars USD on this design-build project but you delivered a garage-sale quality device. Unacceptable. I should have known better than to trust a small software shop / TLD host to perform the job of and deliver a device on par with the other major manufacturers in the segment.

If you could at least roll up the current fixes from TO’s Foris, openwrt and the ath10k projects and provide us a new ‘medkit’ image that actually heals this device, I think we’d all appreciate it very much.

Thanks,

Sean

I have the same errors in the kernel logs and the WLAN 5GHz works so I don’t think they have any relevance on the issue.

My understanding of the messages is that the kernel tries to load the firmware file but fails because the file doesn’t exist (-2) and then delegates the firmware download to the user space.

7

I also have those kind of errors, but my 5 GHz is working oke.

My reg code is set on NL and i have put in the rc.local also to change it to NL might something happen and change it to another country.

That being said, in the /etc/config/wireless i have also set the countries on NL and the last thing i had to do that i had no issues anymore is…keep it on channel 36. I have no problems anymore with channel hopping because it has been fixed on that channel. The output is a steady 292-400 Mbit. MAYBE it should be even higher in reality, but coming from 60-150 Mbit this is a BIG step forward for me.

Try to change to that channel and see if things change. If they still don’t …try to change to another country such as NL (Netherlands) i can confirm that mine is working oke…on channel 36. This will do till we see further changes in the future.

8

OK so, I reseated the card again and restored to factory again. The card seems solid, physically now. That said, as soon as I try to change the regdomain to US from CZ, the card goes disabled. I am just going to keep the regdomain as CZ until a fix is available. This also has now persisted one ‘reboot’ (via halt issued on serial root console)

I suspect that the region code has A LOT to do with this whole problem. When i was experimenting with it by changing it for example to US, i also experienced what you saw…that the card disabled it self.

The second thing when i did change to NL as region code. Did not know back then that weather-radar uses certain channels 120, 124, 128. I used channel 128 back then. The following morning it hopped to channel 149, which the Netherlands does NOT support. They support up to channel 140. When i again configured the 5 GHz card and just left it on channel 36…well till now nothing has changed or happened.

IF things change…for example the system somehow turns to regdomain changes to US or so…just use

iw reg set CZ

in the rc.local. Just to be sure…you never know.

Newest update does not fix WLAN problems

Just installed the newest Turris update (which also included a new kernel) but on restart 5G card again got disabled. My country code /etc/wireless/config is fine (both set to “CH”) and also Luci shows this in “Edit”->“Advanced” and also “iw reg get” shows that my region is set to “CH”. Of course reseating the card did not help (as in most cases reported here) I tried that too.

So it’s a total gambling if 5G card comes up or not. I really hope that turris will look into this issue asap. It’s a actually a bug that causes so much frustration and it requires me to always watch if 5G is coming up or not after a reboot.

But somehow I got the feeling that the creators do not pay a lot attention to the forums and to the problems as well.

Could you also give me the output of some commands.

ifconfig

cat /etc/config/wirelss

Do keep in mind to remove wifi SSID and password.

Of course, here’s the output of /etc/config/wireless

This is with ‘5G’ not coming up. Sadly since the update that was installed yesterday (new kernel 4.4.38-34abcd5e548fc8ed5390269f3a31d173-1) ‘5G’ is now completely broken. It’s no coming up again anymore. I rebooted at least 5 times with no success. Seems that turris omnia is really having serious issues and they are making things worse. I will post another topic on SW Problems about my ‘5G’ not coming up again anymore.

Hi big_boss,

finally my ‘5G’ come up. Don’t know if it was pure luck or if it was because I did run “iw reg set cz” and did set the country in Luci of both cards to ‘CZ’ or not. Interestingly after a reboot, an “iw reg get” now shows ‘CH’ not ‘CZ’ anymore so it was reverted for whatever reasons, also my /etc/config/wireless was reverted to ‘CH’ as country. Very strange. ATM ‘5G’ and ‘2G’ are running so here’s my ifconfig when wlan0 actually exists and is working:

Don’t know if this helps. What I also did was replace firmware with non -CT version as describe in this thread Ath10k after upgrade to 3.3

I will not reboot the device ATM as it currently runs. God knows what happens on next reboot :rage:

14

:laughing: , don’t worry bro. Even if you would reboot, there is something that is just missing.

If in the future again wlan0 goes offline. Try to set in the rc.loca (LuCi—>startup–>(all the way down)) Put just above exit 0

iw reg set CZ

Off course also the wireless configuration files the country code on CZ. If your wlan0 somehow doesn’t go up, try

ifconfig wlan0 up

to see if anything happens. (ifconfig off course to check what interfaces are active)

15

When it is not there, can you run lspci to test whether it is driver issue?

16

Is this being actively worked on, or not? I don’t see anything related to wifi at all on the bugtraq. Just trying to determine if I need to abandon ship here. After waiting so long I don’t have time to ‘hope’ the base promised features will actually be delivered.

17

In my case issues coming after install a mSATA (Kingston SSDnow mS200). Now if I do a reboot, the Wlan 5G doesn’t work and a “lspci” doesn’t show it. If I do a full power cycle, the Wlan 5G do work and a “lspci” show it.

I hope this can help to locate the bug.

18

OK, as you said it’s probably not a firmware issue I reverted back to the “-ct” driver.

Still having the problem that 99% of the time wlan0 (5G) does not come up. I had to do 8 reboots until 5G card came up. I counted it this time.

When I do a “ifconfig wlan0 up” I just get a “ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device” message. Strangely the output of lspci is not always the same.

the first time when I ran lspci I got:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6820 (rev 04)
00:02.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6820 (rev 04)
00:03.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6820 (rev 04)
01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter

So it seems that both pci cards were detected. But still the device wlan0 was not created.

On the next reboot (where wlan0 was still disabled) I got:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6820 (rev 04)
00:02.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6820 (rev 04)
00:03.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6820 (rev 04)
01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

So I ran a lspci after every reboot up to the 8th one, the results are strange:
reboot 2 & 4: both cards were detect but only 2G started working (LED for PCI2 & 3 are both off)
reboot 1,3,5,6,7: only 2G card detected and working (LED for PCI3 blinking)
reboot 8: both cards are detected and working and both LEDs PCI2 & PCI3 blinking.

During my tests I also had the country set to ‘CZ’ in /etc/config/wireless and rc.local, apparently I did not help as I needed 8 reboots. Also switching back to “-ct” firmware did not fix anything.

I also did all dmesgs for all 3 states although I had to shortedn it a bit at the top oth:

see next post for dmesg when card is working.

I hope this helps. Just one question, is it possible that a small batch of ‘5G’ cards bought from the manufacturer are just faulty? Why else would only a few people have this problems and the others not? I mean my turris is still in stock configuration, I did not add anything except of re-socketing the ‘5G’ card twice with no luck. Also when card is not started or not even detected (dmesg also not showing any message at all) the behaviour seems totally random.

this is a followup to my previous reply.

I don’t know if the firmware we’re using includes them though, I haven’t tried compiling it myself from kvalo’s source.

I did find a possible temporary workaround - at least it worked on my first soft reboot:

in /etc/modules.d/50-ath10k-ct I changed 2 lines to pass these parameters:

ath10k_core skip_otp=1
ath10k_pci irq_mode=1

I don’t entirely know what those modes do except that they were mentioned in some of the email archives and that the irq interrupt stuff may be related. I initially had a typo in the skip_otp line so it was only passing the irq_mode=1 and that resulted in different messages but the 5g card still did not load. I did not try the skip_otp parameter by itself.
