I can confirm that there was/is a problem with AR9287 in Onieric (11.10). There internet speed test reported 7 Mbit/s for Onieric and 802.11g (45 MBit/s for Ethernet). The same test reported 14..15 Mbit/s for a couple of older laptops and a phone. These tests were tried during the same hour (a few tests).
Then I tried the new beta 2 of 12.04 and I get around 18.5 Mbit/s with that. No bursty transfers with that so it means something was probably fixed to the kernel. I am running Acer Aspire 5750 and lspci shows this: 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e034 Nice and smooth sith beta 2 so far. Also the fan of the laptop is more silent with this version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825903 Title: Atheros AR9287 Wireles Very Very Slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/825903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
