[ath9k-devel] 2.6.28-rc6-wl update

[Brian <bnc@astronomicalresearchaustralia.org>]

All,
I have baked out to another suse 11.0 that uses everything the same but
not the wireless-testing kernel.
i.e I am still using the ath9k driver.

With this kernel all pings have  normal response.
With the wireless-testing kernel everything seemed to have a delay.
Pings, getting pages from the web sending mail.
All appears normal now.

I now have two wireless connections into the router and both appear
good, while they are operating.
I have had the link stop responding. i.e the network was up and appeared
ok but pings did not get a response.
This time though a /etc/init.d/network restart fixed the problem.

One thing I have noticed was that under the wireless-testing kernel I
was using the swap file. I never have used it in the past. Looks like
there may be a leak there. Can I check this somehow?

Thanks,
Brian
