Hi guys, <div> yesterday I've installed the kernel 2.6.38-natty from here : <a href="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-natty/">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-natty/</a>. The installation was smooth and the kernel worked amazingly well, but I haven't the same luck witht the wifi.</div>
<div>I've used to have a lot of problems with the chipset AR9285 in the past, but from a few version of the 2.6.35 kernel, the wifi is working perfectly. I do not know if that is a regression problem with the wifi modules in 2.6.38, or just some patches Ubuntu applied to 2.6.35 to work better.</div>
