[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"

[unggnu]

I am not sure if all have the same bug. I can confirm mine easily
through the follow three steps.

1.While downloading the 2.6.29 source code to get the driver my system freezes two times. So starting a big download.
2.Ping your router. Most of the time at least 10% of the packets got lost with 2.6.28. No lost ping with 2.6.29 so far while one or two packets are pretty normal for wlan I guess.
3.Check if the freezes are gone with 2.6.29 kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29/ .
