NeoRaider:

A Gluon user reported the following issue, observed on a TL-WR841N v9 (QCA953x). LEDE version is 17.01.2.

Gluon uses AP+11s VIFs, with multicast_rate set to 12000.

The WLAN became unusable (no connection possible, WLAN LED permantently on) after a few hours of operation. Both VIFs were affected. The system recovered on its own after an hour in this state. Unfortunately, I have no information if beacons were still running in the broken state.

After the recovery, the large number of messages like the following were found in the kernel log:

Both the numbers in the "unsupported hw bitrate detected" messages and the status->rate_idx values in the WARNINGs are seemingly random.

FreifunkUFO:

its also happening with ath9k on AP+11s VIFs (f.i. on freifunk meshes)
i think its THE well-known problem of the last months, mostly called "wifi will break until a wifi scan is started".

2 weeks ago i saw that problem on a 5ghz (!) device (ubnt-loco5m)
[135091.754940] ath: phy0: unsupported hw bitrate detected 0x1b using 1 Mbit

there were many thoughts about it. sometimes it seemed to be broken/mad wifi-client-devices (at one location the mistake was only on weekends) or when people were using many windows mobile phones.
other ideas blaming ANI (please try to disable and enable ANI) or HCS. Or pathing ath9k (0xdeadbeef).

meanwhile many mesh-communities (like freifunk, libremesh..) have very many bad or very bad workarounds about that. (so even neoraiders wifi will recover after an hour)

I have AP and 3 STA clients connected to AP. All 4 devices are the same Ubiquti Bullet M2 hardware and same firmware.

This in on AP device:

$ iw dev wlan-ap station dump | grep 'bitra|Station'
Station 68:72:51:24:bc:9b (on wlan-ap)
tx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s <=== !!!
rx bitrate: 52.0 MBit/s MCS 5
Station 9a:b8:52:e5:07:23 (on wlan-ap)
tx bitrate: 52.0 MBit/s MCS 5
rx bitrate: 39.0 MBit/s MCS 4
Station 68:72:51:24:bc:21 (on wlan-ap)
tx bitrate: 52.0 MBit/s MCS 5
rx bitrate: 65.0 MBit/s MCS 7

Marked 'tx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s' show which wifi sta connection frozen.

On client side I have symmetry situation:

$ iw dev wlan-sta station dump | grep 'bitra|Station'
Station 68:72:51:68:49:9e (on wlan-sta)
tx bitrate: 52.0 MBit/s MCS 5
rx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s

If I delete this connection on AP, STA recover connection in ~10 min.

$ iw dev wlan-ap station del 68:72:51:24:bc:9b

I would try to reproduce this problem with upstream kernel only (x86 and minipcie cards?) and then ask for help with this issue on appropriate kernel development mailing list.
