Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:):
Also may I add that doing an ifup and ifdown on ath0 does not fix it, that
is what I meant in my original post by "cycling the network" I have had
this problem for more than a year (even since Mandriva 2008 replace
2007.1) and I each time I tried a different distro I used the latest
driver from this website.
openSUSE 11.0 came with ath5k but this wouldn't even connect with any AP.
When I installed the madwifi from this website it worked but dropped out
again after an hour.
I'm stuck to using old distros without the functionality I require,
rolling my own kernels and building everything from source is too time
consuming and messes up the package management.
Obviously something happened in a kernel upgrade or the driver upgrade.
