[ath9k-devel] connection problem with AR928X

[Changyu Li]

Hi,

I started having this problem just recently. In short, everything is fine,
then no data is received, then after a while, a bunch of data is received at once,
most tcp connections are not broken, some timed out though.

Wireshark showed that I was still receiving arp broadcasts from the 
router, but nothing else, ie, no replies from router for pings, or tcp 
connections, existing connections stopped receiving packets. 

This problem is only present when I connect to my 2wire router, it does
does not occur when I use my phone as an access point. I've been using 
this router for a while and this has never happened before. The router 
has not been updated recently. When other computers connect to the 2wire
router, this problem does not occur.

What information shoul I provide about my system, and how should I proceed 
to fix this problem? 

Thanks,
Batman.

please let us know the following things:

1.lspci -vvvxxx
2.which kernel you are using, to get the latest driver and see if its
fixed try compat-wireless. did this problem after you had done some
kernel upgrade?

3. pls report back if the issue is seen in latest compat wireless
