Public bug reported:
I'm running ubuntu 9.04 on my Asus K50IN notebook. Wireless connection
interface didn't run by defult. After a quick search I've found this
package and installed on my machine.
apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
Then wlan0 inferface became visible and I was able to use wireless
connection. But my wireless connection is dopping many times and its
strength looks lower then expected. My Linksys wireless router is quite
close to my asus notebook and normally connection strength should be
about %95 but it looks about %65-%70
Here is the kernel version,
cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.28-13.45-generic
Wireless network adapter model,
lspci -k | grep -A3 "Network controller"
05:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network
Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules: ath9k
iwconfig

The bad thing is when the connection drops it is not possible to reconnect to
network. It's not possible to connect my notebook remotely in that case.
Wireless network connection is very unstable. Please tell me a solution,
what should I do to make my wireless connection stable.
