I am using the Sierra Wireless MC7455 Modem with an USB PCIe adapter. Whenever I have bad LTE channel condition, the modem crashes and I receive the error message:
[Thu Jan 25 07:01:03 2018] GobiSerial driver ttyUSB1: usb_serial_generic_write_bulk_callback - nonzero urb status: -71
The device stops working. I am unable to communicate via the serial port with the device (raises more of the above errors). The communication link also stays unresponsive: ifconfig eth0
claims, that the interface still has a valid IP-addresss, but sending only rasies the number of TX errors.
I am currently using the modem for our IoT Platform. This platform may often have bad channel conditions. Our application may also live with the interface not beeing able to send data for a while… but the error disappers only, when the modem is manually unplugged and reattached - which is not acceptable for us
Can you please help me?
Last status information before crash: (note the SINR of -16 dB!. however, the modem is able to send ping or perform small HTTP requests)
