A while back I completely reinstalled my T61p with 9.10 (amd64 desktop). I've since upgraded my kernel to the generic variant found here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.3/ There are a few newer versions. but I haven't tried them yet. At this time, my wireless is working extremely well. Before, not only would I get the intermittent lockups on the wireless, but I'd also get periodic stalls/pauses where no network traffic was passing at all. With the kernel from the link above, the system has been solid so far. $ uname -a Linux odin 2.6.32-02063203-generic #02063203 SMP Thu Jan 7 10:09:47 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsmod | grep ath ath5k 131823 0 mac80211 192720 1 ath5k ath 10419 1 ath5k cfg80211 142828 3 ath5k,mac80211,ath led_class 3666 3 ath5k,thinkpad_acpi,sdhci -- Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300693 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
