This suggests it is an upstream bug then. It will probably be fixed soon enough.
Sam
By āupstreamā do you may kernel or dongle-driver?
Would using the WIFI-dongle from the OSMC-shop āfixā this?
We use the dongle driver from upstream. It may be a better idea for us to use a custom driver instead in the future, but Iāll see if this passes in new kernel releases soon enough.
I do not see this issue with the OSMC WiFi dongle.

@sam_nazarko:
As an experiment I downloaded the latest installer and reinstalled OSMC to a new SD-card.
I then did an apt-get update/upgrade cycle.
The GPIO_IN=08
messages did not return to the syslog.
Theyād been replaced by this trio with a slightly lower frequency:
Aug 14 12:34:11 osmc kernel: rtw_set_ps_mode(): Enter 802.11 power save mode...
Aug 14 12:34:11 osmc kernel: rtl8192c_dm_RF_Saving(): RF_Normal
Aug 14 12:34:11 osmc kernel: rtl8192c_set_FwPwrMode_cmd(): Mode = 1, SmartPS = 2
(see http://paste.osmc.io/yurixufiva)
I then proceeded to update OSMC using itās own updater. This prompted me to reboot.
I rebooted after all updates were done. The log since the last reboot is here:
http://paste.osmc.io/oluwugumac
Note that this has reintroduced the original problemā¦
apt-get upgrade will not upgrade the kernel, if you are updating from the command line you must use apt-get dist-upgrade to do a full upgrade. The OSMC updater does the equivalent of dist-upgrade.
Unfortunately all you have proven is that not upgrading the kernel avoids the problem - but we already know that.
@DBMandrake
To me it also proved that this was not caused by some unknown (SD-card deterioration or other) cause.
As the functionality of OSMC does not seem to be affected and no solution is currently available nor strictly required. Iām willing to mark this issue as closed. Agree?
When you say itās a problem in āupstreamā, where could we file a bug report to get this fixed? Is this Kodi-related or Linux-kernel?
Although I have another wifi-problem recently, but I donāt know if this is related to here so I will start a new topic.
Just received the WiFi dongle from the OSMC-shop.
Here is the log: http://paste.osmc.io/amefunotuk
As you will see the problem has not gone.
Do I need to do something extra?
I seem to be getting this log spam as well and have updated to the August release. It has something to do with the RealTek adapter Iām using since it disappears when I unplug.
July/August updates same thingā¦ as an example altho i get GPIO_IN=09

I am not using any GPIO pins and i have too realtek based wireless dongle
(Using Raspberry PI 2 and dongle is Zyxel NWD2205)
Yeah, there clearly is something up with the wireless networking.
After upgrading to the AUG2015 release I see no change.
What adapter are you using?

Itās a different pin but the log still fills up with these:

So, no joy with the alternative WiFi dongle, since they are the same chipset.
Iām seeing the same problem on a Pi2 Model B with an Edimax EW-7811Un, which also uses the RTL8188CUS chipset.

With this dongle there are no other related messages filling the log.
This dongle has a different chipset and doesnāt use the buggy RealTek driver.
Going to see how this dongle performs in the long run.
That is a Ralink dongle, and I find the drivers for Ralink to be quite stable.
Think I have worked out the issue in this thread and it should be in for the September update
