I see something about "NetworkManager-wait-online..." failing to start
during boot up. It doesn`t fail consistently, and I don`t see any obvious
difference in system behavior either way.
After idling overnight dmesg reports a flood of
[76285.418728] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd022 fail, reason -52
[76285.526747] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd026 fail, reason -52
[76285.630745] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd02a fail, reason -52
[76285.734787] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd02e fail, reason -52
as if something`s stuck in a loop.
Wifi by way of the usb-wifi dongle is up, wavemon reports
freq: 2417 MHz [survey freq: 2462 MHz], channel: 2 (width: 20 MHz (no HT))
for the connected interface.
The internal interface reports 87% signal strength from the configured
access point but the search has apparently stopped at 5825 MHz channel
165 which can`t work since it`s a 2.4 GHz access point.
The network drop-down menu sees my access point through both interfaces
but won`t let me try to connect the internal without turning wifi off and
back on (can`t test further because I`m typing this over the wifi link).
Thanks for reading!
