Just compiled a custom kernel from Linus' git tree (2.6.33-rc4)
and ath9k works without much ado.
Have an uptime of ~16 hrs now without a problem.
Even suspend-resume works nicely :)
Thought I'd share it with you all.
Thanks,
Kunal

@chris(CyberCr33p),
yeah, it's the same here - it seems to be stable for some time; but after a
while, it disconnects and refuses to connect again - even after rmmod +
modprobe'ing the driver.
This indicates that it must be messing up the internal state of the h/w

@notoriousdbp,
Well, I don't think ubuntu guys can do anything for the issues here. I've tried
to take up the matter with the atheros guys on ath9k-devel list and they
haven't been all that helpful which doesn't go well with the whole open source
nature. They just stopped responding - even for t

No they don't.
They merely make the disconnects less frequent - making it a bit more usable
than earlier where the disconnects were rather frequent.
However, as I mentioned earlier in comment #44, the problem of bad performance
on loaded network still exists.
May be, that could als

I did try frank's patches on top of ubuntu-karmic git tree - indeed, they did
reduce the no. of disconnects.
But, the main problem of pathetic performance during heavy network load still
persists. :(
Note that I'm using the default NetworkManager setup - maybe, that's the
culprit?
Need to check
