Public bug reported:
Laptop is a PackardBell EasyNote TK85. I don't know if it is a bug in
NetworkManager or ath9k, but I suppose it's ath9k, I also tried with
wicd, same problem. Problem exists since 11.04, I tried a lot to fix it.
Tested on Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
PROBLEM:
>From time to time the network becomes very slow, often it is like dead.
After a few minutes it gets better again. If I restart networking
sometimes it helps, sometimes not.
Solutions I tried:
- ath9k.conf in modprobe.d with nohwcrypt=1
- networkboot on top in BIOS (according to the internet sometimes it could help)
- compat-wireless via backport
- power management off
- blacklist acer_wmi, because it activates a second wlan-device
- deactivate BT to exclude interference
After all this trouble I decided to file a bug.
