Package: src:linux
Version: 5.4.19-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm experiencing too frecuent WiFi disconnects because the kernel
can't follow or does not understand some AP's frequency changes in the
5 GHz band because of DFS.
For example:
Mar 23 13:54:13 waterhole wpa_supplicant[557]: wlx8c882bxxxxxx:
CTRL-EVENT-STARTED-CHANNEL-SWITCH freq=5260 ht_enabled=1 ch_offset=1
ch_width=80 MHz cf1=5290 cf2=0

a0:64:8f:xx:xx:xx tries to chanswitch to same channel, ignore
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole kernel: [ 8890.628932] wlx8c882bxxxxxx: AP
VHT information is invalid, disable VHT
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole kernel: [ 8890.628937] wlx8c882bxxxxxx: AP
a0:64:8f:xx:xx:xx changed bandwidth, new config is 5260 MHz, width 2
(5270/0 MHz)
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole kernel: [ 8890.628939] wlx8c882bxxxxxx: AP
a0:64:8f:xx:xx:xx changed bandwidth in a way we can't support -
disconnect
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole kernel: [ 8890.628941] wlx8c882bxxxxxx:
failed to follow AP a0:64:8f:xx:xx:xx bandwidth change, disconnect
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole wpa_supplicant[557]: wlx8c882bxxxxxx:
CTRL-EVENT-CHANNEL-SWITCH freq=5260 ht_enabled=1 ch_offset=1
ch_width=80 MHz cf1=5290 cf2=0
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole wpa_supplicant[557]: wlx8c882bxxxxxx:
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=a0:64:8f:xx:xx:xx reason=3
locally_generated=1
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole NetworkManager[537]: <warn>
[1584968054.8423] sup-iface[0x557d8e27e110,wlx8c882bxxxxxx]:

Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole NetworkManager[537]: <info>
[1584968054.8484] device (wlx8c882bxxxxxx): supplicant interface
state: completed -> disconnected
Mar 23 13:54:14 waterhole NetworkManager[537]: <info>
[1584968054.9478] device (wlx8c882bxxxxxx): supplicant interface
state: disconnected -> scanning
Frequency changes to a totally different channel seems to work just
fine, but this kind of changes "to the same channel" produces a
disconnect. My Debian workstation seems to be the only device
disconnected with these frequency changes, other devices like phones,
tablets, or chromecast, connected to the same AP in the 5 GHz band
does not get disconnected.
I'm using a dual band MT7612U 802.11ac wireless stick, but I confirmed
the same problem with a dual band RT3572 802.11n wireless stick.
