Please note this bug is still a problem with the latest release 12.04.
using at least ubuntustudio. The bug had expired, I unexpired it rather
than create a new bug... perhaps that was wrong, let me know where to go
from here. This shows up when doing low latency audio work like using the
computer as a guitar effect or a softsynth. With the wireless network on
and connected, there is an xrun per minute. Turning the wireless off,
either by using the netmanager or with the wireless switch on the computer
makes things worse with an xrun every 5 seconds. using modprobe to remove
the ath9k module fixes this.

I suspect that having the wlan running while doing low latency audio will
not work because of hardware reasons. However, the ath9k module needs to
be fixed so that when netmanager turns it off or it has no hardware to
play with, it resets itself or turns itself right off.

This is important to ubuntustudio because these are the uses this flavour
is designed for. We can (and will) tell our users how to unload badly
behaved modules, but a fix would be preferable.
