I still reproducing the bug in Ubuntu 13.04 and current-release (release 16oct). In current-release 07-nov wpasupplicant chased so I could not reproduce the bug.
However I've tested it both in Debian 7 (with firmware-atheros package and 3.2.0-4-amd64) and Debian 7 Live and it worked perfectly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049383 Title: ath9k_usb: TL-WN821N v3 (AR7010+9287) Connection drops Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi. The connection with this device is fast and stable, but seems to drop after a certain amount of data has been transmitted. The easiest way to reproduce it is to download something large. I can always reproduce it by downloading a torrent. After about 300-400MB, it seems like the wireless dongle hangs and the connection doesn't work anymore. At this point, network commands such as iwconfig freeze, and it's also impossible to reboot or turn off the computer. However, if the wireless dongle is unplugged and plugged again, everything's back to normal. The module is set with nohwcrypt=1. If this option is not set, the connection drops much faster. Also, I've noticed that the latency is lower with nohwcrypt=1 (using speedtest.net, the latency without hardware encryption is consistently 3 times less).
