  • Bug report ID | 39f4e3a7-fd6f-41b5-8803-df4b4f34e583

Steps to reproduce

  1. …Boot RPi Zero W
  2. …Execute dmesg | grep brcmfmac

Expected behaviour

  • No brcfmac errors

Actual behaviour

  • My headless RPi Zero was running on Buster for 3 years and updated to newest versions, nearly without problems
  • After migration to Bullseye with the scripts 6 month ago, I detected more and more situations where the RPi hangs for some minutes - not resolving the DNS traffic from my network or in some cases was completely unavailable per SSH or in some cases had 100% load (htop)
  • I supposed the SDcard to be damaged and tested it, seems to be ok
  • I set sudo iw wlan0 set power_save off
  • I found errors via dmesg | grep brcmfmac which I do not understand and may be involved in above issue, brcmf_xx lines are marked “red” (on my RPi3B+ with same version , they aren’t)

I doubt these messages are related because they are generate 12-13 seconds after reboot.

Better to check whole dmesg and journalctl around the time your issue happen.
