I was unable to recreate this bug when I installed the NetGear WN111v2 USB wireless adapter again. It remains connected with either or both the usb9170 and carl9170 drivers loaded. Performance appears to be better with the carl9170 driver, however. Reported connection speed was 48 Mbs with the carl9170 (usb9170 blacklisted) versus 1 Mbs for the usb9170 (carl9170 blacklisted). I can only assume that the bug was miraculously cured by one or more package updates. My current kernel version is 2.6.38-11-generic. Since I was using a Realtek RT2070 based USB wireless adapter in the intervening period, I cannot determine which update(s) fixed the ar9170 failure.
Based on this latest experience with the ar9170, I suggest that the status be changed to either Invalid or Fix Released unless someone else is still experiencing the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779142 Title: ar9170 usb wireless disconnects repeatedly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/779142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
