Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4) bug
Dear Developers,
my name is Paolo Zaffino and I'm an Italian GNU/Linux user.
I have an asus NV56 with an Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4) wifi card.
I installed Arch Linux at 64 bit, my kernel version is the 3.8.7-1 and I use Gnome with Network Manager.
I am facing a strange bug in the wifi driver.
I am able to get a working connection to many wifi networks (open and wpa), but in other cases I can not connect to them or I connect but every 30 seconds (more o less) the connection drops. In this last case dmesg return this:

This is your problem, you're probably running two instances of wpa_supplicant or something equally strange.

First of all thanks for your support.
Can you give me any advice on what look for in my system? I really haven't idea about this strange situation.
Thanks a lot.

Well, make sure you kill all supplicant processes. I'm guessing you're not using your distro's tools (e.g. network-manager) but starting your own, and the distro init scripts also start a supplicant process.
Anyway, that's about all I can help you with, everything else would be distro specific and then you should ask them for help. Most likely they'll just tell you to use the "sanctioned" way though.

If you are using NetworkManager, also grab the NM log output which goes
to syslog's daemon facility. That gets dumped to a file depending on
your distro, which could
be /var/log/messages, /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/NetworkManager.log, or systemd's journal.

Dear all,
thanks to your advices I solved all my problems.
I had more of one service that tried to manage the wifi, it wasn't a bug in the driver. I solved with:
systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service systemctl disable net-auto-wired.service systemctl disable net-auto-wireless.service
Thanks for your advices and for your work on the Linux kernel.
Best regards.

If NetworkManager is running, it expects to be able to control the wifi device (unless you tell it not to), you tell NM what to do instead of running wpa_supplicant yourself and configuring it manually through the supplicant.
