Public bug reported:
Using Ubuntu 8.10.
I have a wireless card with the Atheros AR5008 chipset (802.11n), and it
uses the ath9k driver. The performance of this card in Ubuntu is
terrible.
On an 802.11n network, where I often connect in Windows or OS X at a
reported speed of 130 mbps (with none of these speed issues); iwconfig
in Ubuntu reports that I am connected at 1 mbps. I do not know if the
information iwconfig is presenting is accurate, however, there is a
noticeable drop in the speed of local transfers (i.e., transferring
files over a LAN is very slow, controlling a machine via VNC crawls).
Switching to a 100 mbps resolves all speed issues, when the difference
shouldn't be that noticeable.
