Failed to flush queue

[ghost]

Hi, after installing this driver, everything looked working well, but after few hours, the wifi disconnected and dmesg is full of these errors:

ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Dropping frame due to full tx queue 0 ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00queue_flush_queue: Warning - Queue 0 failed to flush ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00queue_flush_queue: Warning - Queue 2 failed to flush

And since the first lost connection I can't get it to connect again. Restarting system works just for few minutes, then it gets again into these errors. I don't even know where to look for further information about this.

Your kernel version..? And also the output of these commands:

lspci -vv |grep -i -A 9 wireless
lsusb |grep -i mediatek

Confirming this bug causes connection failure and the inability to reconnect(or send any tx frames probably) until the mt7630e module is removed and inserted again. I found that this suppresses the problem for a while:

nmcli radio wifi off
rmmod mt7630e
modprobe mt7630e
nmcli radio wifi on

I installed the latest 2.0.3a-1 github version using dkms.

[neurobin]

@J08nY Thanks for testing it. Though I don't recommend using the alpha branches for normal uses, those are only for testing. For normal uses, always use the release branch.:D

[J08nY]

I used the release branch, same bug, I only installed the alpha version to try to fix it.

[J08nY]

It appears that the frequency of this issue is somehow related to signal strength, If I have a really good signal I might go hours without being disconnected, however if I have poor signal it might be minutes.

[echo-devim]

I also have this error many times, but my wifi never disconnect. A workaround could be try to disable the power managment: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off where wlan0 is the name of your wifi (check with ifconfig or ip link)

@J08nY I wouldn't say so, I have my laptop like 3 metres far from a wifi router, so the signal strength is really high, but the connection is lost anyway very quickly.

I also have this error many times, but my wifi never disconnect. A workaround could be try to disable the power managment: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

@echo-devim Tried this with no success at all. Reloading the module mt7630e on the other hand happens to work a bit more.

Also, since my first comment, I've upgraded kernel to 4.4.4-301.fc23 and tried both 2.0.3a-1 and master branches.

When I look into log using journalctl on the line when NetworkManager disconnects, it says:

<warn> Connection disconnected (reason -4)

According to NetworkManager.h this means NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_CONFIG_FAILED

Then it tries to reconnect:

<warn>  (wlp3s0f0): link timed out.
<info>  (wlp3s0f0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'ssid-not-found') [100 120 53]

[psiphi75]

I get the same issue. I have tried both master and 2.0.3a-1, on both Debian and Ubuntu. Below are the details for my Ubuntu laptop.

Still getting the same issue with v2.0.6.

Cheers, Simon

I also have roughly this problem, only at office but not home. I can get it working by turning off wifi, and using rmmod/modprobe, but if I try that two times it brings down the system.

[J08nY]

Yep, same for me. I have a script that disconnects using NetworkManager, then turns off the wifi, then rmmod -> sleep 1 -> modprobe and turns the wifi back on. However this seems to freeze up the whole system once every few tries. It freezes on/after modprobe mt7630e.

Just upgraded kernel to 4.7.0 and driver to 2.0.8 (commit d5023e72da59e02c8279d7ccd5f8c430f8163b03) and I seem to get far less errors. It might be just freak coincidence since I had the driver error after upgrading but currently been on wifi for hours and no error, no disconnect (note that this is indeed very unusual, before upgrade I could get maybe half an hour of basic usage until disconnect). I recommend updating (both kernel and driver) and trying it out.

[jayvdb]

@J08nY , is it still working well for you?

[J08nY]

@jayvdb Hmm, tested it some more and seems I was just lucky that day. Issue is not solved on 4.7.0 kernel and 2.0.8 driver.

There is a similar issue here with a kickstarter campaign to resolve it. Maybe this will help.

[adanski]

There seems to be some progress on the issue linked by @horacekmi: https://github.com/lede-project/source/commit/9eacb9d7fc0b4c921f8d2ec91a51f10d8c3ae12f
