Public bug reported: The connection to the wireless network often gets lost and then reconnects. Furthermore the connection to the wireless network is sometimes very slow (1 Mb/s). Sometimes I have to reload the ath9k kernel modules, because I can't get a connection to the network. Very rare I have to reboot the pc, because I can't get a connection.
I tested the following mainline kernels.: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-precise/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4.1-quantal/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4.6-quantal/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/ In those upstream kernel versions the bug is still present. I had this problem also with Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 and with Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04, but with Natty the problem was not so bad because it was very rare. For this card exists an open source driver with the help of Atheros itself, so far I know. Why the driver is so bad for three Ubuntu versions?
