Okay, jus let me add (attached to this e-mail) the call trace I get when stopping NM with the wifi LED on. >>> Can you do a 'rfkill unblock all' to see if that makes a difference ? >>> It makes no difference.

Bluetooth operates in the same frequency band as WiF= i. I blackisted the module: root@stt300:~# grep -i blue /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist bluetooth And rebooted. Now I can't see the module loaded: root@stt300:~# lsmod|grep blu root@stt300:~# Bu I still get the same issue: Aug 22 15:18:08 stt300 anacron[1934]: Normal exit (0 jobs run) Aug 22 15:18:09 stt300 dbus[1128]: [system] Activating service name=3D'org.freedesktop.UDisks' (using servicehelper) Aug 22 15:18:09 stt300 dbus[1128]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks' Aug 22 15:18:14 stt300 wpa_supplicant[1167]: Failed to initiate AP scan.

I expressely used the brcmsmac because it was newer, easier to setup than the others... and it's open source :-) Greetings, --=20 Camale=F3n --000e0cd1e2f64e7a9804ab180f1b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="nm_shutdown_call_trace.txt" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="nm_shutdown_call_trace.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 X-Attachment-Id: f_grnhetx90 WyA3MjAwLjc5NjE0OV0gSU5GTzogdGFzayBOZXR3b3JrTWFuYWdlcjoyNjAyIGJsb2NrZWQgZm9y IG1vcmUgdGhhbiAxMjAgc2Vjb25kcy4KWyA3MjAwLjc5NjE2Ml0gImVjaG8gMCA+IC9wcm9jL3N5 cy9rZXJuZWwvaHVuZ190YXNrX3RpbWVvdXRfc2VjcyIgZGlzYWJsZXMgdGhpcyBtZXNzYWdlLgpb IDcyMDAuNzk2MTcyXSBOZXR3b3JrTWFuYWdlciAgRCAwMDAwMDAwMSAgICAgMCAgMjYwMiAgICAg IDEgMHgwMDAwMDAwNApbIDcyMDAuNzk2MTg4XSAgZjU4OTc2YjAgMDAyMDAwODIgMDAwMDA2NDYg MDAwMDAwMDEgMDAwMDAwMDAgMDAwMDAwMDAgZjRlY2RhZjQgYzE0ODc5ODAKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjIx M10gIGY1ODk3ODVjIDAwMDAwNjQ2IGMxNDg3OTgwIGY1ODk3NmIwIGMxNDg3OTgwIGMxNDg3OTgw IDAwMDAwMDAyIDAwMjAwMDAyClsgNzIwMC43OTYyMzZdICAwMDAwMDBmZCBmNGVjZGIzOCA3ZmZm ZmZmZiAwMDAwMDAwMiBmNGVjZGIyYyBjMTJhZDg3NCBmNGVjZGIzYyBjMTJhY2IwNgpbIDcyMDAu Nzk2MjU5XSBDYWxsIFRyYWNlOgpbIDcyMDAuNzk2Mjg0XSAgWzxjMTJhZDg3ND5dID8gX3Jhd19z cGluX2xvY2tfaXJxKzB4Yi8weDE2ClsgNzIwMC43OTYyOThdICBbPGMxMmFjYjA2Pl0gPyB3YWl0 X2Zvcl9jb21tb24rMHhjNy8weGQxClsgNzIwMC43OTYzMTJdICBbPGMxMmFkMDI3Pl0gPyBfX211 dGV4X2xvY2tfY29tbW9uLmNsb25lLjUrMHhlMi8weDEzMQpbIDcyMDAuNzk2MzI1XSAgWzxjMTJh Y2YzNz5dID8gbXV0ZXhfbG9jaysweDE3LzB4MjUKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjM4MV0gIFs8Zjg1ODU0ZjE+ XSA/IGllZWU4MDIxMV9zY2FuX2NhbmNlbCsweDExLzB4NWMgW21hYzgwMjExXQpbIDcyMDAuNzk2 NDIwXSAgWzxmODU4ZDc1Yj5dID8gaWVlZTgwMjExX2RvX3N0b3ArMHgyYS8weDNmMSBbbWFjODAy MTFdClsgNzIwMC43OTY0MzVdICBbPGMxMDNhZTBiPl0gPyBfbG9jYWxfYmhfZW5hYmxlX2lwLmNs b25lLjYrMHgxNS8weDZkClsgNzIwMC43OTY0NDldICBbPGMxMjI0NDJmPl0gPyBkZXZfZGVhY3Rp dmF0ZV9tYW55KzB4Y2UvMHhmYgpbIDcyMDAuNzk2NDg4XSAgWzxmODU4ZGIzMT5dID8gaWVlZTgw MjExX3N0b3ArMHhmLzB4MTIgW21hYzgwMjExXQpbIDcyMDAuNzk2NTAyXSAgWzxjMTIwZjlmZj5d ID8gX19kZXZfY2xvc2VfbWFueSsweDZjLzB4OGEKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjUxNV0gIFs8YzEyMGZhMzk+ XSA/IF9fZGV2X2Nsb3NlKzB4MWMvMHgyYwpbIDcyMDAuNzk2NTI3XSAgWzxjMTIxMjhjZT5dID8g X19kZXZfY2hhbmdlX2ZsYWdzKzB4OGMvMHgxMDEKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjUzOV0gIFs8YzEyMTI5YTQ+ XSA/IGRldl9jaGFuZ2VfZmxhZ3MrMHgxMC8weDNiClsgNzIwMC43OTY1NTBdICBbPGMxMjFiN2I5 Pl0gPyBkb19zZXRsaW5rKzB4MjZjLzB4NWZmClsgNzIwMC43OTY1NjhdICBbPGMxMDMxNDdiPl0g PyBzZWxlY3RfdGFza19ycV9mYWlyKzB4NDJmLzB4NjFkClsgNzIwMC43OTY1ODBdICBbPGMxMjFi ZWY4Pl0gPyBydG5sX3NldGxpbmsrMHhhMS8weGMyClsgNzIwMC43OTY1OTRdICBbPGMxMjFiZTU3 Pl0gPyBydG5sX2dldGxpbmsrMHgxMTUvMHgxMTUKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjYwNl0gIFs8YzEyMWMxOTE+ XSA/IHJ0bmV0bGlua19yY3ZfbXNnKzB4MWEyLzB4MWIxClsgNzIwMC43OTY2MTddICBbPGMxMjFi ZmVmPl0gPyBfX3J0bmxfdW5sb2NrKzB4YS8weGEKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjYzMF0gIFs8YzEyMmI1MjE+ XSA/IG5ldGxpbmtfcmN2X3NrYisweDJmLzB4NmYKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjY0MV0gIFs8YzEyMWJjNmU+ XSA/IHJ0bmV0bGlua19yY3YrMHgxOC8weDIwClsgNzIwMC43OTY2NTNdICBbPGMxMjJiMTA3Pl0g PyBuZXRsaW5rX3VuaWNhc3QrMHhjMC8weDExNQpbIDcyMDAuNzk2NjY1XSAgWzxjMTIyYjM4Zj5d ID8gbmV0bGlua19zZW5kbXNnKzB4MjMzLzB4MjRjClsgNzIwMC43OTY2NzldICBbPGMxMjAyZGJm Pl0gPyBfX3NvY2tfc2VuZG1zZysweDRlLzB4NTcKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjY5MV0gIFs8YzEyMDM0NmU+ XSA/IHNvY2tfc2VuZG1zZysweDc4LzB4OGYKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjcwNF0gIFs8YzEyMDM0NmU+XSA/ IHNvY2tfc2VuZG1zZysweDc4LzB4OGYKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjcxOF0gIFs8YzEwMjljZmU+XSA/IG5l ZWRfcmVzY2hlZCsweDExLzB4MWEKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjczMF0gIFs8YzEwMjlkMGM+XSA/IHNob3Vs ZF9yZXNjaGVkKzB4NS8weDFmClsgNzIwMC43OTY3NDJdICBbPGMxMmFjYTJjPl0gPyBfY29uZF9y ZXNjaGVkKzB4NS8weDE4ClsgNzIwMC43OTY3NTRdICBbPGMxMmFjYTJjPl0gPyBfY29uZF9yZXNj aGVkKzB4NS8weDE4ClsgNzIwMC43OTY3NjZdICBbPGMxMjBiMjQ0Pl0gPyB2ZXJpZnlfaW92ZWMr MHgzZC8weDc1ClsgNzIwMC43OTY3NzhdICBbPGMxMjAzMTE1Pl0gPyBfX3N5c19zZW5kbXNnKzB4 MTI4LzB4MThjClsgNzIwMC43OTY3ODldICBbPGMxMjAzM2Y2Pl0gPyBzb2NrX3NlbmRtc2dfbm9z ZWMrMHhjOS8weGM5ClsgNzIwMC43OTY4MDFdICBbPGMxMjAzMjVjPl0gPyBzb2NrX3JlY3Ztc2df bm9zZWMrMHhlMy8weGUzClsgNzIwMC43OTY4MTVdICBbPGMxMGNiMGRlPl0gPyBmZ2V0X2xpZ2h0 KzB4NTYvMHg2OQpbIDcyMDAuNzk2ODMwXSAgWzxjMTExZGY5MT5dID8gc2VjdXJpdHlfc2tfYWxs b2MrMHhkLzB4ZgpbIDcyMDAuNzk2ODQzXSAgWzxjMTIwNjRhMT5dID8gc2tfcHJvdF9hbGxvYysw eDdmLzB4ZjcKWyA3MjAwLjc5Njg1NV0gIFs8YzEwMDdhODU+XSA/IF9fc3dpdGNoX3RvKzB4ZDEv MHhlMgpbIDcyMDAuNzk2ODY2XSAgWzxjMTAyYzQzNz5dID8gbW1kcm9wKzB4Yi8weDE5ClsgNzIw MC43OTY4NzhdICBbPGMxMDJjNTYzPl0gPyBmaW5pc2hfdGFza19zd2l0Y2grMHg2YS8weDg2Clsg NzIwMC43OTY4OTBdICBbPGMxMDI5Y2ZlPl0gPyBuZWVkX3Jlc2NoZWQrMHgxMS8weDFhClsgNzIw MC43OTY5MDJdICBbPGMxMmFjOGFmPl0gPyBzY2hlZHVsZSsweDU5YS8weDVhYQpbIDcyMDAuNzk2 OTEzXSAgWzxjMTBjYWNjZT5dID8gZnB1dCsweDExLzB4MTYxClsgNzIwMC43OTY5MjVdICBbPGMx MjA0YWJmPl0gPyBzeXNfc2VuZG1zZysweDJjLzB4NDcKWyA3MjAwLjc5NjkzOF0gIFs8YzEyMDRm N2Y+XSA/IHN5c19zb2NrZXRjYWxsKzB4MTg3LzB4MWRjClsgNzIwMC43OTY5NTNdICBbPGMxMmIy MjFmPl0gPyBzeXNlbnRlcl9kb19jYWxsKzB4MTIvMHgyOAo= --000e0cd1e2f64e7a9804ab180f1b--
