I have a similar problem with ath9k with the AR928X wireless chipset. (Asus N50vn) It is not as pronounced, however, I only get 80 percent reception holding my laptop directly on top of my wireless router's antenna.
I downloaded the source for 2.6.28 and 2.6.30-r8. Unfortunately, the above patch is for 2.6.29, and one cannot simply include the lines and recompile for either kernel (Jaunty or Karmic.) This problem does seem solvable upstream. The 2.6.30-r8 athk9.h file is very similar to the 2.6.29 driver code cited in the attachment at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12930 This following blueprint for karmic may prove useful: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kernel-karmic-wifi It may be possible for an Ubuntu developer to communicate with Senthil Balasubramanian and still apply this patch. -- Very weak signal using ath9k compared to Windows driver on same machine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379861 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
