Summary | 0006283: brcmfmac driver sometimes fails after suspend/resume | ||||
Description | I don't think this is strictly a Kali issue but wanted to flag that the brcmfmac driver seems to exhibit interesting errors when coming out of suspend sometimes, however it's not entirely consistent to reproduce on demand. The main issue is after resuming, the driver seems to fail and throw errors like the dmseg output below. [33979.798876] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_msgbuf_query_dcmd: Timeout on response for query command This from a Dell XPS 9550 which has the following Broadcom WiFI card inside: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC [14e4:43ba] (rev 01) It has been tracked across multiple Linux distro's so it suggests it's either a kernel bug or a problem with the brcmfmac driver itself, which is coming from the firmware-brcm80211 package. It seems to have been happening for sometime if the bugzilla reference is anything to go by, an interesting comment from someone more recently suggests that the 5.5 kernel may resolve it, but I think Kali is under 5.4 currently, so I cannot confirm. A couple of workarounds are potentially available:
