Same problem on ASPIRE 4736Z. Most of the times the connection is fine. But sometimes (after closing the lid or wifi router is far away) it is very unpredictable, connecting and disconnecting, re-asking me for password...

[Bug 379096] Re: Ath9k: Signal drops to 0% on connection to AP after a few seconds, drops connection.
On an ASUS laptop K70IJ-C1 with ATH9K wireless driver, the stability of wireless connection improved considerably after installing linux- backports-modules-karmic on Ubuntu 9.10 (Kernel 2.6.31-15). Anyway, after installing it, I noticed that cups will not 'auto- discover' a printer shared on a different ubuntu box in the same subnet. Could linux-backports-modules-karmic cause this?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic NetBook Remix and still experience the same issue after sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic did nothing for my issue. I am running wicd for management but experienced the same issue under NetworkManager as well. No output in dmesg when the failure occurs, no output in wicd.log when the failure occurs, it simply dies. Simple as that. Going to try networkmanager again but it didn't help last time. -- Ath9k: Signal drops to 0% on connection to AP after a few seconds, drops connection. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi hR, Could you test the latest linux-backports-modules-karmic package? The reason I ask is this patch was recently applied to the upstream wireless-testing tree and linux-backports-modules-karmic recently sync'd with the wireless-testing tree as of 2009-07-22 . Please let us know your results. Also, ISO images for Karmic can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ but you'd still need to install linux-backports-modules-karmic.
