I've found that this bug is a result of poor hardware ASPM support. It is a hardware bug that is worked around in windows driver by disabling PCIE ASPM L0S. There's a solution - turn ASPM L0S off for this device. --- 1. Download enable-aspm kernel org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/aspm/enable-aspm 2. Get your root complex: $ lspci -tv 0000:00 ... +-1c.2-[0000:03]----00.0 Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter ... 00:1c.2 3. Get your endpoint: $ lspci ... 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) ... = 03:00.0 4. Now you neet to edit your enable-aspm # You just need to modify these three values: ROOT_COMPLEX="00:1c.2" ENDPOINT="03:00.0" ASPM_SETTING=2 5. Now executing: vo-one@acerone:~$ sudo bash enable-aspm [sudo] password for vo-one: Root complex: 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02) 0x50 : 0x43 --> 0x42 ... [SUCCESS]] L1 only Endpoint: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) 0x70 : 0x4B --> 0x4A ... [SUCCESS]] L1 only 6. Making the script executed at system startup: sudo chmod +x enable-aspm sudo cp enable-aspm /usr/bin sudo cat "enable-aspm" > /etc/rc.conf hope that helps -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
