I'm on an ASUS UL20FT with AR9285. I'm experiencing extensive packet loss and frequent disconnects. Also the rate rarely goes above 1Mb. I tried compat-wireless as late as 2011-03-01 on 2.6.35-27-generic. I also tried kernel 2.6.38-020638rc6-generic from ubuntu mainline. I even went ahead and built wireless-testing git trunk as of 2011-03-02.
The rate and packet loss seem to strongly depend on the distance from the AP. All other computers have perfect signal where my laptop fails to connect or the rate drops to 1Mb/s. It seems that a similar bug is being assigned to Atheros developers on kernel.org: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20922 ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #20922 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20922 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576156 Title: AR9285 experiences extremely slow transfer rates. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
