Description of system
Intel Arria 10 SoC FPGA running custom built Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 6.6.0-socfpga.
Intel BE200 WiFi-7 PCIe adapter with microcode version 83
Issue
Error occurs when executing a custom utility to scan network channels on 2.4G and 5G at around 50ms per channel. Over time, the channel switching results in a Microcode SW error in the iwlwifi driver. This error occurs on any channel after a random period of time varying from 5 minutes to 4 hours. No correlation has been found between the frequency selected during scanning and the occurrence of the error.
Observations
- Decreasing the channel scan rate slows the error occurrence down.
- Increasing the channel scan rate does not increase the error occurrence up in a linear fashion but does have some effect.
- Experimented with kernel version 6.7.0-socfpga on the same platform with microcode version 86 resulted in the same behavior.
- Experimented with an Intel i9 system running kernel 6.8.8 and microcode version 86 resulted in the same behavior when running the same channel switching application.
- Experimented with disabling hardware encryption with no change in behavior.
- Experimented with other module parameters with no effect (amsdu_size, power_save)
- Bluetooth is disabled (bt_coex_active = false)
kernel log output is shown below and attached for reference.

Thank you very much for investigating this issue. I wanted to provide a few updates:
I have moved on to experimenting with the linux-next kernel as I discovered that Intel development was occurring there. I had previously attempted to merge the changes from linux-next into the 6.7.0 kernel I was experimenting with but this was very cumbersome.
After moving to this newer kernel, the same issue is still occurring with rapid channel scanning as before so the request is still valid even with the leading edge BE200 iwlwifi and firmware version 94.
In addition, I have discovered and resolved another issue you may be interested to know about. Lets suppose I had been scanning a WiFi-6e channel on a 6GHz channel, and then I bring the interface down when the last channel was a 6GHz channel. If I bring the interface back up, the driver will crash repeatedly each time I attempt to bring the interface back up. To alleviate this crash, I implemented a change of the channel back to a 2.4GHz channel then bring the interface back down. What I believe is happening is that when the interface is brought back up, it attempts to switch back to the 6GHz channel but is not allowed to do so because the 6GHz is disabled until a scan is performed.

Hi jamez70,
May I confirm if the BE200 units are self-integrated or pre-installed?

Randy,
I am not exactly sure what you are referring to - but I believe they are self integrated units placed into custom hardware. There will be two M.2 BE200 cards in each installation. If it helps, the number of units will be in the thousands. Currently, I am attempting to get the exceptions down to a minimum before we can deploy these in the field.

Hi jamez70,
Could you please clarify whether the wireless card in your system is pre-installed (included in the system) or if you have changed or installed the wireless card yourself?
I also recommend checking out our article on Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters and trying to install the latest stable version of the mainline kernel.

Dean R.

Hi jamez70,
Intel wireless firmware and drivers are designed to work with specific versions of the Linux kernel. This means that only certain versions of the firmware and drivers will function correctly with particular kernel versions. Using the correct kernel version ensures stability and proper operation of your wireless device. Intel wireless drivers are part of the upstream Linux kernel and are available through regular channels, distributions, or the Linux kernel archives. Support is provided only for the kernel version that includes the driver.
For technical issues or questions, users are encouraged to visit Bugzilla to search for solutions or submit new bug reports. Bug List
The Intel wireless drivers are included in the Linux kernel. To obtain the latest Intel wireless drivers, we recommend installing the latest (and stable) version of upstream Linux kernel. The wireless device requires firmware to operate. Firmware usually ships with your distribution, or you can download it from the repository firmware git tree. Each download provides firmware under its own license.
See the link for reference:

I will be closing this inquiry and no longer be monitored. Thank you.
