Hello, I'd like to report a bug probably regarding the ath9k driver, I've tried several distributions (Ubuntu, Opensuse and Fedora) and the issue is the same in all of them. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INFO ABOUT THE SYSTEM: # uname -r 3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64 # lsmod | grep ath ath9k 131258 0 ath9k_common 13602 1 ath9k ath9k_hw 389880 2 ath9k_common,ath9k ath 23103 3 ath9k_common,ath9k,ath9k_hw mac80211 521833 1 ath9k cfg80211 192203 3 ath,ath9k,mac80211 # lspci -vv | grep AR5008 -A8 07:03.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Case 2 - Network Manager Disbled + DHCP The card seems to associate without any problem to the network, which is protected with WPA2/PSK, but when it comes to getting an IP address the problem arise. The IP address is obtained with higher probability, but still after a long time (20-30 seconds). Case 3 - Network Manager Disbled + No DHCP This is the fastest way I currently have to get the connection up and running: 1) Connect using wpa_supplicant 2) Fix ip address 3) Start pinging the address of the router After a few "Destination Host Unreachable", I get some replies and the connection starts to work In all three cases, once the connection is up it appears to be stable and provides good performances, at least for what concerns web browsing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ -- 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
