Just applied the LBM update from today and retested the LBM ATH5K .vs.
the NDISWRAPPER module. There are still performance problems, however
the LBM ATH5K module seems very stable now. I cannot duplicate the
earlier lost packet behavior I was observing in October.
** Attachment added:
I've found that the LBM does indeed work after I disabled the existing
proprietary drivers...
Same here. You have to blacklist the ath_pci and ath_hal modules.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 .
blacklist ath_hal
blacklist ath_pci
...then reboot, and wireless works again.
To make the ath5k module from the LBM work you need to blacklist the
others (ath_pci and ath_hal) and make sure ath5k is not blacklisted
anywhere. Community solution was posted on the wiki here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
And on the forums.
And really people,
If you can live with the performance
Go to www.2wire.com and check the speed meter (just for comparison)
Kernel ath5K from LBM: 156 KBPS
NDIS Wrapper with net511 driver: 2.37 MBPS
from same location with same interference levels.
Pings to the local router show similar performance with
I've found that the LBM does indeed work after I disabled the existing
proprietary drivers in System - Hardware Drivers and leaving the ath5k
drivers on (listed as drivers for Atheros 5xxx). I then restarted the
computer and wireless was back on. That is what I did previously in
prior kernels of
So yeah, next time you decide to kill, or 'update' something that's
working perfectly fine for a whole lot of users : a heads up or an opt-
out would be nice.

Please people, venting your frustation here doesn't help anyone.
1) this was discussed publicly (ubuntu-devel and kernel-team lists)
2) this was enabled and removed within a development cycle
3) there are workarounds (madwifi, lbm)
It's too late for the 8.10 release now; let's focus on:

The problem is quite tricky... It is a very sensible point ...
How can you install lbm or madwifi when you don't have any internet
connection left ?
So please, set up a procedure to update from hardy to intrepid only via
wifi

Download LBM package earlier without installing it. Or use a cable to
connect to internet.

As many persons say before, download and install LBM don't solve the
problem.

I understand. As it happens, I pulled
I always read the change log for the Kernel at least before I apply an
update and thus I knew my ATH5K support would disappear. But I've long
felt that update-manager or some other tool should preserve the last few
changelogs locally so that when you applied an update and something

IMHO it's a bad idea.

I just changed my wificard to be linux-compatible, and you want to cancel my
new one.
It works perfectly.
Please keep it working.
This is a very common stuff and a lot of people will be lost if you make such a
change.

Please can someone from the ubuntu team can reply ? I have performed
apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid but it don't works at
all. I still lost my wifi since a simple update. When I check the
OFFICIAL documentation I can read : Wireless should work out-of-the-box
with Ubuntu 8.10
Following up on my earlier post, I was not able to get LBM to work on my
Acer 4720z. I dropped back to NDISWRAPPER while I continue
troubleshooting, but this did break my install. I'll investigate the
LBM package further tomorrow.

Ok, seems the backports package works on a eeePC 900, no performance
loss as far as I can tell.
But it kind of sucked loosing network connectivity after a simple update

I'm not milestoning this; it's nice to get the driver disabled for
intrepid, but hell wont freeze over if it isn't.
I'm tracking status in intrepid, and for jaunty we don't care: the in
kernel ath5k as of early 2.6.28 will be good enough to replace madwifi
completely.
