Hi folks,
my Atheros wlan (builtin, internal intenna) is regularily loosing link. Reproducible in various different networks. At home, my wlan ap is about 2 meter away (within the room), so link quality (currently 53) shouldnt be the problem. Does anyone know what could cause the problem ? # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 (r...@excalibur.local) \ (gcc version 4.3.4 (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) ) \ #1 SMP Wed Jun 2 00:51:13 CEST 2010 # lspci -v ... 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.
