[ath9k-devel] 2.6.27 with compat-wireless-2008-12-31 stops transmitting every 2-3 minutes

[Joseph Cheek <joseph@cheek.com>]

Hi,

looks like i misspoke.  my laptop, this morning, lost its connection for
about 30 seconds while running a remote X app.  I just sshed to another
box (running a g card with a broadcom chipset 8-), exported the display
back to my laptop, and started ripperX.  About 2/3 into the rip the
connection stalled for about 30 seconds and then came back.  perhaps i
didn't see it before because i don't do any video serving from my
laptop?  unsure.  i do watch the videos there, and i would expect the
bandwidth utilization to be the same.  at least it seems bandwidth related.

speaking of the broadcom card, it reassociated with the access point
automatically after a reboot (of the access point).  both d-link/atheros
cards needed some work to get it to reassociate - the desktop needed a
reboot and the laptop needed a reinsertion of the pcmcia card.  possibly
rmmod/modprobe ath9k would have worked to get it to reassociate, but
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart did not work.

thanks for your help!
