[Bug 356768] Re: ath5k driver hangs periodically, please include trivial patch in kernel

[George Varghese]

I can confirm similar behavior in Samsung NC20 netbook with Ubuntu
Jaunty. WLAN disconnects sometimes without any reason. It tries to
connect showing one green dot on the nm-applet on taskbar but fails to
connect. It asks for password but never succeeds. I tried to disable
WLAN by right clicking nm-applet and unchecking WLAN. That greys the
WLAN. I can not enable it again. The only solution I know is a reboot.
This happens once in a day or more. I tried it in different WLAN
networks (school, home). No difference. Even after reboot WLAN fails to
come up. So in most cases it requires a second reboot. It is quite
annoying. Is there any log/information I could give to help developers?
Please let me know. Thanks very much for your contributions.
