Today, I re-installed "from scratch" Intrepid on my computer because of issues with the graphic environment. I made all updates to Intrepid and I faced so many problem with the wireless connection that all I have to say is GARBAGE.
Here is a test case : 1. Do some work needing the network 2. Once the connection has crashed, run: sudo killall NetworkManager sudo modprobe -r ath9k sudo modprobe ath9k sudo NetworkManager 3. Then NetworkManager seems to be reconnected but a ping would show that this is not the case, at this point if we retry the same sequence as above, the "killall NetworkManager" doesn't exit and all network commands are blocked. 4. Try to restart the computer, and the graphic banner disappears for some text lines showing: "wlan0 (WE): Wireless Event Too Big (320) And that's all. So to me, ath9k is a piece of s...., I'm sorry but I spend so many hours just because of this problem that I'm a bit angry. -- Wireless connection with ath9k is very unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
