Just for the record, I do my testing at a University with hundreds of access points that I roam between and two seperate wifi networks that I roam between. I have tested this roaming across thse access points with both unencrypted and WPA encrypted connections. I _did_ see wifi connection problems with earlier versions of the ath5k module that went away with the 2.6.28 kernel but the highest speeds were still problematic. Things seem to be even better with a 2.6.30 kernel (I can seemingly now stay connected to an AP which is a metre away at a rate of 54 without it having to drop to a lower rate).
I do not doubt that others are seeing problems however networks with multiple SSIDs alone is not the problem. This bug was originally for the ath5k chipset in the EeePC 900. There are other chipsets in other machines and this problem could be tied to those chipsets (it is unclear who is using what from the comments above). (The following obviously does NOT apply to people who have already left information). Could anyone new posting problem please ensure they post their machine type, the wifi chipset in their machine AND which kernel they are using (lspci will show the wifi chipset, the kernel version can be found with uname -a) and the type of network they are trying to connect to. This might help to build a profile of the problem. -- ath5k: frequent, intermittent dropouts when roaming between APs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
