Capt'n'SaltyJack, I understand and sympathize with your frustrations. I tried to do my best as an ordinary user. But I agree with you that the official Ubuntu devs didn't do well here. Unfortunately, it's something I've been experiencing a lot lately, where even ready-to-apply patches lingered for more than a release. I put this problem on the radar very early on in the cycle and nudged it forward whenever I could. I repeatedly poked the devs about it in IRC. Nada, no reaction at all. Upstream was very swift and it is a real shame the Ubuntu devs didn't get their a** up to ship it in the final release. The necessary effort on their end was really minimal.
That said, the kernel package in my PPA is still waiting to be built. Once that's done, grab the kernel from there (or compile the dsc yourself in pbuilder). That will get you a working ath9k module out of the box. I should tell you though, that I've had some issues with stability of the wifi link when running VoIP over it. I haven't yet reported that, I wanted to get others to be able to test this first. -- support for new atheros wifi chipset - AR2427/ath9k https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521967 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
