Hi Florin, I haven't seen that issue yet, but I do have some more info that may be related.
Just finished initial tests on 3.2.0-39-generic and the number of retries are again through the roof (for hard numbers, on an 8 MB file transfer, 325 retries with 3.2.0-32, 2020 retries with 3.2.0-39). But, I sat down with the network team to look through the logs during the connection drops with 3.2.0-32 and we're seeing MIC errors again: "The AP 'kn_office_100' received a WPA MIC error on protocol '0' from Station 'dc:85:de:8a:14:0e'. Counter measures have been activated and traffic has been suspended for 60 seconds. - Controller Name: kn_254_17AP" ...which leads back to a bug I'm all too familiar with: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/580753 Florin, it's possible that if you're seeing the same MIC challenge failures that your AP is taking more hostile countermeasures at some point (maybe the nth failure). Especially if you see that other devices remain connected but your AR9285 won't get reconnected until the AP reboots, I'd be tempted to point the finger at the MIC failure. But that's just supposition on my part. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945379 Title: 168c:002b Wireless connection randomly drops -- ath9k To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/945379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
