Hi, I've always had this problem with the ath5k driver. However I tried the ath5k driver again about 2 months ago and had the exact same problem, so I tried changing the channel on my AP to something that wasn't being used by my neighbors and since then my connection has stayed relatively stable.
It is relatively stable, however I do lose connection every 2-4 minutes without losing association with the AP. I don't really notice it unless I'm using streaming media. It's only like once or twice every 24 hours that I lose association with the AP but it connects again in about 30 seconds. Before I changed the channel I would get association for a few seconds before losing it again and most of the time it wouldn't associate at all. This only applies to my home connections which is encrypted with WPA- PSK. Usually I can't connect at all while in my University. Sometimes I get a connection but lose it after a few seconds. The University WiFi network is unencrypted. The ath_pci driver would stay connected without me changing the channel at home and could also stay connected in the University. However it caused kernel panics so I prefer ath5k when I'm able to use it. I would say that it's a regression that there isn't an option to use ath_pci karmic. I would use the ath5k at home and ath_pci when I was in Uni. ** Attachment added: "lspci -vv and dmesg output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33449952/lspcivv-and-dmesg.txt -- [intrepid] [Atheros AR5211] ath5k driver inoperative, wpa_supplicant never completes connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276508 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
