Hello,
I'm having a problem with the ath5k module found in kernel 2.6.31.5 and
accessing ".local" addresses on the network.
What I've observed so far is that when I first boot the computer I can
successfully access (e.g. ping) other .local computers. If the computer with
the ath5k card sits for a few minutes I can no longer access .local
computers. (Trying to ping, ping returns "ping: unknown host") Also, other
computers on the network can no longer ping the ath5k computer (also "ping:
unknown host")
Pinging the .local computers by their IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.3) does
work.
Access to computers "on the internet" (e.g. www.case.edu) also works.
At first I thought this was a problem with Avahi. Later I tried a different
wireless card (one that uses the RT2500pci module) and there was no problem
with the .local fading away after a few minutes.
02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213
Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)

Anything else to try? (I'm not subscribed to mailing list, so CC me in
responses please!)
Thanks for your work!
C.
