Hi I reported this earlier this year: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg94318.html I now run kernel 3.5.3 and still get the warnings. dmesg is attached. Device is an: ASUSTek Computer, Inc. WL-167G v2 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2571W] With USB ID: 0b05:1723. The device is quite old and works only on short ranges but it does work reliably now. I get the warnings but I no longer have to reboot, the device simply continues working. The device looks like this one (if someone is interested): http://i.discuss.com.hk/d/attachments/day_110626/20110626_036ae8435bb3894c6548lo8K2yBToJq4.jpg wpa_supplicant was started with: wpa_supplicant -B -P /run/wpa_supplicant_wlan0.pid -i wlan0 -D nl80211,wext -c/run/network/wpa.wlan0/wpa.conf The /run/..../wpa.conf file looks like this: ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network = { ssid="...my ssid..." proto=RSN WPA psk="...my password..." } dmesg output: https://gist.github.com/3755159 Sorry, its quite long but I think it contains all required information. I don't know how to reproduce this reliably, but suspending/resuming a few times does almost always generate these warnings. Also note the easily overlooked warning before suspending the first time: [267106.009044] phy0 -> rt73usb_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 1 (-16). The first warning that occurs then goes like this: [267107.447852] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [267107.447869] WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:574 ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.29+0x2d/0x40() [267107.447872] Hardware name: N150P/N210P/N220P [267107.447874] queueing ieee80211 work while going to suspend So I really think the problem is that the device is not correctly put to sleep during suspend and then continues sending data. The other warnings probably are caused by this, too. As I said, the device still works after resume, and if not, then I simply replug it, as I am not sure whether it doesn't work because of this error or because of being out-of-range. It really doesn't bother me much as it works reliably. But maybe you're interested in these warnings and Stanislaw asked me to report whether these warnings still occur with 3.5.1. And yes, they do.
