I've been using NetworkManager, ath5k and Fedora 9 without (too many
issues) on my T60p Thinkpad. I have pulled the latest wireless drivers from
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download on occasion to try them out,
and in general my experience with ath5k is that the latest releases are
better.
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg
NIC (rev 01)
Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter
(AR5BXB6)
I've been using LEAP and WPA authentication successfully. One trick I did
apply was to lock my rate down - I have
iwconfig ath0 rate 24M
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Before I did this, the ath5k driver would keep
switching rates looking for a better match, periodically dropping out. I
also have the power maxed out to try and improve chances of a good
connection.
Cheers,
Toby Haynes
