[ath9k-devel] Pending ath9k bugs

[Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com>]

Here is a list of pending ath9k bugs, if I've missed
anything please reply to this e-mail and let us know. If you
have any insights into specific AP issues (one with Airport
Express N, another with DAP-1353) please let us know.

kernel.org:

1) "Very low signal strenghts with ath9k in 2.6.29"
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12930
	Patch available but user still reports issues with both Windows and Linux
	with an AR5416 PCI-E card. Patch has not yet been pushed upstream.
2) "AR5008/DWA-552 - Very slow" on 2.6.30-rc2
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13141
	Card is an AR5416 card (PCI-E), AP is "Airport Express N" in 11 mode
	with WPA. Claims under windows performance is better. User is testing
	with kerenl 2.6.30-rc2.

ath9k-devel:

1) Cannot associate with AP DAP-1353 in 11n mode, no encryption.

OpenSuse:

1) "wi-fi card Atheros AR928X returns "no scan results""
	https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462673
	Not sure what to make of this. Jiri might know better.

I reviewed most ath9k Ubuntu bug reports but unfortunately all are
on old stable kernel releases or old kernels, most need more info,
and I was unable to find any useful bug report which reflects the
current ath9k as is upstream or any critical fix for older stable
kernel releases. If I missed anything please do let us know.
