Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic
I have a DWL-G520 Atheros (madwifi) card which worked flawlessly in
Dapper. In Edgy (fixed in another bug), the card must be activated with
`modprobe ath_pci` and then `depmod`. Once "working," the cars seems to
work fine.
Until after a few minutes. Using the Network Monitor applet, I can tell
that the card disconnects from the network every 3 to 10 seconds. It
then reconnects after about a 1/2 second delay. This isn't a problem
with the applet itself, I can tell that it actually disconnects in
Firefox, Gaim, etc.
I opened GNOME System Monitor to check the network settings. With all
internet applications closed, there is a constant stream of ~1 KB/s
being recieved, and about 0.1 KB/s being sent, even while the card
disconnects from the network.
Other problems arise from this also. The card may also just stop working
for a few minutes if it disconnects too often. Running `modprobe
ath_pci` and `depmod` again fixes the problem, until it decides to
disconnect and stop working again.
