I was experiencing this bug and can confirm that Seth's kernel fixes the issue. Connected to AP within seconds, previously would not connect unless I sat the laptop on top of the AP, and even then it was taking a good few minutes.

Actually that fix hasn't hit proposed yet. Sorry for the confusion.

If it's a scanning or authentication issue please try the kernel from proposed, which may contain a fix for your issue. Instructions for enabling proposed are at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed I would suggest that after enabling proposed you select only the linux- image and linux-header packages to upgrade, then after upgrading those packages disable the proposed archive. Try this before the other kernels and post your results.

Sorry should have replied earlier Had tried the previous build(s) with no success and installed madwifi which works. seems to be an authentication issue from dmesg but its on another laptop and i don't have access to it at the moment. will uninstall madwifi (hopefully tonight) and try recommended kernels. and apologies for not responding earlier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775104 Title: Kernel 2.6.38.8: ath5k driver wireless signal strength critically weak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/775104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Fish R. Cynic: Have you tested the 2.6.38.8 mainline build yet? It does have fixes not in the versions you've tested so far. If that one is still bad I'd suggest trying the following mainline builds: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-natty/ Once we find the first version to exhibit the problem we can start a kernel bisection to try and identify the commit that introduces the regression.

Same problem here. Fresh install of Xubuntu 11.04 on an Acer Aspire 3620 laptop with AR2413 wireless (wireless worked flawlessly on previous versions of Xubuntu). After booting, or when I disable and then re- enable networking with the Network Manager applet, access points are only sporadically detected: djb@DJB-Aspire-3620:~$ sudo iwlist scanning loInterface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wlan0 No scan results If I move the laptop to within a few feet of my router and wait a few seconds, however, it unfailingly detects the access point (as well as about a dozen others scattered around the neighborhood!!) and connects. I can then return it to its normal location in another room (about 30 feet away from the router) and everything works swimmingly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775104 Title: Kernel 2.6.38.8: ath5k driver wireless signal strength critically weak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/775104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
