Thank you Michael!! I have the very same laptop and after disabling bluetooth and enabling wlan as you suggest I am posting this over my wireless connection :-) The speed seems fine and I don't drop any packets pinging my router. My link quality appears steady around 90%.
iwconfig reports 1Mb/s as my bit rate as well. But I suspect this is due to a recently fixed bug in the driver: https://lists.ath9k.org/pipermail/ath9k-devel/2008-September/000267.html At least I'm pretty sure I saw it was fixed. I can only find the problem report now. There have been other problems posted on the ath9k mailing list lately which may apply to you. Perhaps you are using 11n and the lack of aggregation support in the driver is causing you trouble. My router only supports 11g. I still wasn't able to connect with the network manager. I'll have to try fiddling with that some more. Michael, feel free to contact me if you want to share more information about getting Ubuntu working on this laptop. I'm stevehalasz at gee mail. Using the envyng-gtk package to install the latest beta nvidia drivers worked for my video. -- ath9k wireless not working with AR9280 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270748 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
