Bug Description

To report this bug, I have downgraded to 3.20210216.0ubuntu0.21.04.1.

After upgrading to latest security update of intel-microcode, my wifi reception is cut every second and restart with:

juin 10 09:32:55 casanier wpa_supplicant[2158]: wlp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-REGDOM-CHANGE init=DRIVER type=WORLD
juin 10 09:32:55 casanier wpa_supplicant[2158]: wlp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-SIGNAL-CHANGE above=1 signal=-58 noise=9999 txrate=300000
juin 10 09:32:56 casanier kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.
juin 10 09:32:56 casanier kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Start IWL Error Log Dump:
juin 10 09:32:56 casanier kernel: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Status: 0x00000040, count: 6

The network connection is thus unusable. Downgrading will stop showing the previous error in the journal.

I have attached the whole log corresponding to this error. It’s restarting every second approximately.

@didrocks - any chance you could try testing with the latest iwlwifi firmware? there was a suggestion on the upstream bug report that this may help (or at least it would be good to test whether this has any affect).

Sure, do you have a package handy or should I build one ? (unsure how much their repo is stable between releases)
