I noticed that, immediately after booting the computer, ath_pci (madwifi) works correctly, but then it starts degrading in performance (both latency and bandwidth) and in a few minutes it's back to a horrible state like this:
--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 18 packets transmitted, 18 received, 0% packet loss, time 17026ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.530/5.401/12.738/2.476 ms (notice: this is the gateway and it's always been stable < 1ms in ubuntu hardy usually). Speed tests go from an optimum 6/1 Mbit (which is my nominal speed) to 1/0.128. $ lsmod | grep ath ath_rate_sample 21888 1 ath_pci 224832 0 wlan 259232 5 wlan_tkip,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci ath_hal 339088 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci multipath 16512 0 I'm using this snapshot: madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r4016-20090429. Can somebody please certify which exact driver was being used by Ubuntu Hardy? Was it MadWifi? If so, which exact version/snapshot? I would like to test with that exact driver. Otherwise, I'll have to assume that running "ath5" once on my card misconfigured it in a way that madwifi is not able to recover anymore. -- ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
