My wireless card was working fine for some time, but after reinstallation of computer with Ubuntu, it stopped working and i keep getting this in my dmesg:

lspci:

Does this mean i have issue with driver/kernel or my wifi card is broken? I tried copying latest uucode for 2230 wireless card (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=iwlwifi-2030-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz) into /lib/firmware and reloading kernel module, no success. Still the same issue.

Hi,

I have similar problem. My system is Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-24 installed on a new Toshiba laptop with N2230 wifi card. dmesg:

Can you try to add bt_coex_active=0 as debug parameter?

Thanks for quick reply.

I've tried your suggestion on the fly:

modprobe -rv iwlwifi
modprobe iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

After this, I get "N" from "more /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/bt_coex_active", but it seems not to take any effect on device functioning nor on the kernel messages.
Is this what you meant? BTW, the bluetooth seems to work.
