j: Unfortunately I don't know where would be up-to-date and correct instructions for easily building own patched kernel, cleanly and as a .deb packge. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel looks relatively simple compared to other pages, but not really sure if it's completely accurate.
For compiling the kernel on your own, the idea would be to apply the patch to the kernel with: patch -p1 < v2-ath9k-Add-custom-parameters-for-CUS198.patch inside the kernel sources directory. Then compile and install the kernel and test WLAN after rebooting into the new kernel. If not wanting to test the patch alone and just wanting to have the problem fixed, I posted instructions on updating only the driver at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1160188/comments/58 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971809 Title: 168c:0032 Wifi connection unstable -- Atheros AR9485 ath9k To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/971809/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
