Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-5 Severity: important After upgrading to Squeeze, my ath9k is dropping its connection intermittently.
My hardware and issues matches a bug that is apparently resolved in current linux vanilla (per upstream comments), however persists in the current squeeze 2.6.32-25 images. The issue is consistent with my syslog, my hardware, and my observation that this occurs under some load (rarely when idle) per upstream https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267 01:0a.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.
