Just applied the LBM update from today and retested the LBM ATH5K .vs.
the NDISWRAPPER module. There are still performance problems, however
the LBM ATH5K module seems very stable now. I cannot duplicate the
earlier lost packet behavior I was observing in October.
** Attachment added:
> I've found that the LBM does indeed work after I disabled the existing
proprietary drivers...
Same here. You have to "blacklist" the ath_pci and ath_hal modules.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 .
blacklist ath_hal
blacklist ath_pci
...then reboot, and wireless works again
If you can live with the performance
Go to www.2wire.com and check the speed meter (just for comparison)
Kernel ath5K from LBM: 156 KBPS
NDIS Wrapper with net511 driver: 2.37 MBPS
from same location with same interference levels.
Pings to the local router show similar performance with NDIS
To make the ath5k module from the LBM work you need to blacklist the
others (ath_pci and ath_hal) and make sure ath5k is not blacklisted
anywhere. Community solution was posted on the wiki here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
And on the forums.
And really people, "ubun
I've found that the LBM does indeed work after I disabled the existing
proprietary drivers in System -> Hardware Drivers and leaving the ath5k
drivers on (listed as "drivers for Atheros 5xxx"). I then restarted the
computer and wireless was back on. That is what I did previously in
prior kernels

The problem is quite tricky... It is a very sensible point ...
How can you install lbm or madwifi when you don't have any internet
connection left ?
So please, set up a procedure to update from hardy to intrepid only via

Following up on my earlier post, I was not able to get LBM to work on my
Acer 4720z. I dropped back to NDISWRAPPER while I continue
troubleshooting, but this did break my install. I'll investigate the
LBM package further tomorrow.

I always read the change log for the Kernel at least before I apply an
update and thus I knew my ATH5K support would disappear. But I've long
felt that update-manager or some other tool should preserve the last few
changelogs locally so that when you applied an update and something

Ok, seems the backports package works on a eeePC 900, no performance
loss as far as I can tell.
But it kind of sucked loosing network connectivity after a simple update
without any warning. Bit difficult to search for this solution when you
are offline... I would have expected these kind of things

I'm not milestoning this; it's nice to get the driver disabled for
intrepid, but hell wont freeze over if it isn't.
I'm tracking status in intrepid, and for jaunty we don't care: the in
kernel ath5k as of early 2.6.28 will be good enough to replace madwifi
completely.
