@toffyrn: Of course the plan is to integrate this patch into the natty kernel. In this case it is an upstream patch, but the upstream developer has been slow about getting the patch into the upstream kernel, and that's what has been holding up this fix. This is finally progressing. It's too late to get this into the next natty kernel update, but I expect it will be in the next update after that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@ethos_dacapo, your wireless is an ath5k but not identical. If the fix works for others but not for you (as appears to be the case so far) you likely have a separate problem. Your best bet is to open a new bug by running 'ubuntu-bug linux' in a terminal (be sure you've booted back to your original kernel before reporting the bug, you can get a menu to select which kernel to boot with by holding down the left shift key when you boot your machine). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 767192] Re: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty
I'm afraid I've been asked to have you test yet another kernel, to see if the bug is fixed in the latest 2.6.39 release candidate. That one isn't yet available in our normal mainline builds location, so I've built one and uploaded it to: http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp767192/linux-2.6.39-rc6/ If things still aren't working with this kernel, please enable ath5k reset debugging. I think this command should do it: sudo sh -c "echo reset > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath5k/debug" But without having the hardware I'm not completely sure about the path, so if it fails you might poke around in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211 to find the file (note that /sys/kernel/debug can only be accessed as root). Please disable wireless, run that command, re-enable wireless, and then capture syslog and dmesg showing the failed connection attempts.

the next boot of 2.6.38-9.43proposed took ten minutes before it started direct-probing (even after turning the netbook on after about seven minutes) and the network connection failed.

I couldn't remember; maybe I did only boot it once before, and maybe I was not being patient enough. Sorry. Today I reinstalled 2.6.38-9.43 proposed. I booted twice, and on the second boot I waited a few minutes, and the network ultimately came up without any modprobes or network-manager toggles.

The results with 2.6.38-9.43 are odd. I browsed the changelog and nothing stood out as potentially causing this change on the surface. Did you boot more than once to check that it wasn't a fluke? There was a new stable kernel this week that has some ahteros fixes. I don't think any will fix your problem, but it might be worth trying if you get a chance.

Thanks for the pointers. I'm pretty close to sending our findings on to the maintainer of the driver, but there's one more thing we should test first.

You can just leave the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX parameter in place while we do the test, because it will likely be a problem with all the kernels. Probably the only thing I'd be interested to know from your syslog is whether or not you have any of the 'direct probe' messages. It sounds like this kernel is good though, so I went ahead and started the next build. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

never mind; subsequent boots didn't work so I had to reenable GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text to get 020637.0004 to boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just booted 020637.0004 with my /etc/modprobe.d/atheros- workaround.conf renamed to atheros-workaround.conf.disabled and the wireless came up AND connected immediately. I presume that's all I need to do to keep the modprobe parameter from loading; I haven't been able to confirm that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

yes after the modprobe, the wireless came up, tried to connect and failed.

Nothing about the device in the logs.
