Hm... It looks like they should be completely equal.

I have Acer Aspire 5520, Acer Aspire 5103 and Acer Aspire One (A150). All laptops tell me that they have Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70) > any chance to test the problematic card in another laptop to see if it > depends > on the card or the laptop/card combination?

Reproducible - nearly always. But I could not reproduce it with hundreds of megabytes of the file with 'U' character as well as repetitive bytes of 0x0-0xff. However I have transferred 170Mb of video file just now and got a lot of "mismatching" blocks. Unfortunately i noticed the problem only recently (a month ago or so), usually this netbook was connected via the cable for faster transfers or USB GPRS/EDGE modem. _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
