I posted this on apple today but have had no response. In all honesty I probably do not expect to get one. However, in case some one in here is a wiz at osx and the brcm4360 drivers I thought I would post the details of my fault analysis here....there has to be some one out there with more knowledge on these drivers that can assist. This is on a early 2015 Macbook air running 10.11.6.

For the past year I've been living with random wake failure crashes and have never had the time to actually debug. Well its xmas and holidays and after 3 crashes in the last 5 days after sleep I thought I would spend some time looking through the logs to see what is actually happening.

First, in CoreCapture in console I notice that both com.apple.drive.Airport.Brcm4360.0 and com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family both have alot of captured logs. Even more interesting is the fact that the vast majority of these have a post fix of '=AuthFail:sts:2_rsn:0'. This is intriguing as to what is attempting to be authenticated that is actually failing against in my home.

So I set about reviewing the lastest AirportBrcm4360_logs-xxx.txt file and found and interesting item in regards to what is happening.I should say at the start that my wireless AP is a R8000 and using smart connect on the 5G band. At the time of writing my Mac Air is connected to the upper band on channel 153. This I acieved by manually stopping and starting wifi a few times. I can successfully connect to both 5G bands with my MAC in that manner. Just to prove the point I can also manually connect to both BSSIDs by using https://github.com/qpSHiNqp/airport-bssid.

So, looking through the BRCM4360 logs I find that when my MAC wakes up it looks for the BSSID associated with the lower 5G band and associates and authenticates to it. As soon as this is achieved I get another message that states there is a better signal available, which is the higher of the 2 5G bands (channel 153) and then the drivers attempt to connect and associate with it. However, the driver reports that it can not authenticate to this band and waits a bit of time and then corecapture kicks in to capture all the logs. I'm assuming at this point that the Mac has indeed crashed and restarts.

I've attached the applicable parts of the logs below as:
1. The connection to the lower of the 5G bands is shown below where the 9th line from the bottom shows that the authentication succeeded.

2. The message regarding a better signal.

3. The rejected authentication attempt against the upper 5G band.

And the tell tail message at the end of the auth failure is AuthFail:sts:2_rsn:0.

Has any body else experienced this? Has anyone found a way of solving this? I've no idea why the driver can not authenticate with the higher channel when I can perform this action manually on the MAC and connect without issue. The only thing that I can think of is that the driver does not like the R8000 and the load balancing behaviour of the 5G band. However, if that was the case then I expect it would fail when I perform the connect manually.

Any one have any idea's here? To me this seems to be a driver issue. Why does it not fallback to the initial connection that was authenticated? If any one is interested I can send the entire log that has the complete back trace etc in it.

1. Connection Authenticated.

If I disable the netgear r8000 smart connect feature the MAC no longer crashes. So this is a issue between appnap and the apple drivers.....guess its down to turning off one or the other item for stability reasons.

tried turning appnap off and the crash does not happen. Then tried leaving appnap on and turning off smart connect and the crash does not happen. Seems this is a definite issue between smart connect on netgear and osx appnap. Hope this helps someone else out.
