I’ve just installed Arch on my laptop and I’ve noticed the WiFi card seems to be generating a load of errors. I’m also dual booting Ubuntu server and it looks like that’s been generating similar logs although I’ve only ever used Ethernet on there:
Under Arch it has these 2 errors over and over again in journalctl:
Mar 31 00:38:58 Laptop kernel: ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Correctable, type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver ID)
Mar 31 01:13:08 Laptop kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Correctable error message received from 0000:03:00.0
And under Ubuntu it has this instead:
Mar 30 23:28:22 Laptop kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: can't find device of ID00e5 Mar 30 23:28:22 Laptop kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: 0000:00:1c.5 Mar 30 23:28:22 Laptop kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) Mar 30 23:28:22 Laptop kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: device [8086:9d15] error status/mask=00000001/00002000 Mar 30 23:28:22 Laptop kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: [ 0] RxErr
Lspci detects the card as this:
03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 30) Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter Kernel driver in use: ath10k_pci Kernel modules: ath10k_pci
But the chip itself is labelled as a Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA435 (which matches what the laptop specs are listed as online)
As far as I can tell the WiFi is working properly, is there anything I should do to fix these errors in either distro or should I just add the pci=noaer parameter to suppress the messages?
