[Bug 414560] Re: ath9k disassociates/reassociates a lot

[Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper]

I just wanted to update with what I've found lately... I tried kervel's
patch from comment #20 and I'm _VERY_ pleased with the results. I've
been running a custom-compiled compat-wireless-2009-09-14 with power
management and rfkill polling turned off, per his comment, and I have
not had any network disconnects or drops whatsoever, and the network
connection has been really, really good. Like, sustained 1.9M/s file
transfers over the wireless connection, which I've never gotten before
even on my Thinkpad. Hope this helps someone else and/or helps the
kernel devs to a good solution that can be made a permanent part of the
ath9k kernel modules. The only thing I don't like is that I had to
uninstall linux-backports-modules-2.6.28-15-generic to be able to use
compat-wireless and since then, eeepc-tray isn't as functional as it
should be and I have to manually hit FN+F1 to suspend instead of just
being able to close the lid to suspend (closing the lid just unloads the
ath9k module but doesn't go any further).

Anyway, thank you kervel! =:)
