Re: [ATH] 9.2-PRERELEASE and wlan0 device disconnection

I am struggling with my AR9285 for more than a year now. Sometimes it is better, sometimes worse, but never without disconnections. I have also noticed it dies more frequently on heavy usage. I read somewhere that raising value of kern.ipc.nmbclusters (in my case to 51200) could be of help, so I a

Are you running the AR9285 on -HEAD? If not, upgrade. It should behave much, much better. -adrian On 19 August 2013 00:59, Marko Cupać wrote: > I am struggling with my AR9285 for more than a year now. Sometimes it > is better, sometimes worse, but never without disconnections. > > I have al

A lot of the ath PRs filed by me can be closed. They're reminders that things needed fixing, which I've done. A lot of them are for older cards on older machines with odd behaviour due to PCI/cardbus issues, power save bugs, ACPI hilarity, etc. I've tried to port over some fixes to address these b
