@ashgtx Nope, madwifi is out of K/Ubuntu for good I think, and ath5k despite all the bug are the one non-hackers are bound to from the 9.10 release. The good news is that the ath5k module in compat-wireless-2010-04-19.tar.bz2 from: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ is easier and faster to compile than madwifi (just remember to do a "./scripts/driver-select ath5k" first), and that this particular bug (and probably many other ath5k's) finally been solved.
Right now the only way to get this updated driver without compiling, is to use the K/Ubuntu mainline and precompiled 2.6.36 RC1 kernel image (and the 2 header) packages for your CPU architecture from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/ The driver will according to the upstream kernel guys never come to the 2.6.32 kernel, which Lucid is based upon. What I think we_could_hope_for, is that someone will put this an updated compat-wireless stack in the repository as the "linux-backports-modules- wireless-lucid-generic" package (right now referencing to a NOT fixed/updated "linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-22-generic" package). -- Atheros AR5212 poor connection speed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463625 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
