I have an Alfa 036NHA with an Atheros UB91C card. Wifi connects, races for a little while, stalls to nothing, and then continues intermittently after that fluctuating between slow and stalled. This behavior started with an Arch Linux upgrade to linux 4.4.x and it persists through kernel 4.6.2. When I downgrade to linux 4.3.x everything works great again. Currently using kernel 4.3.6-1. I'm surprised more bug reports aren't circulating about this. The Alfa 036NHA is a very popular usb wifi card, especially among war drivers, and Arch is also a popular distro among the same crowd. I'd be happy to provide any log outputs that would be helpful. I'm actually on a new computer with a new installation of Manjaro, yet the exact same behavior persists between kernel 4.3.x and all later kernels. To my thinking there must be something in the change logs to ath9k b/t the last iteration of linux 4.3 and the first of 4.4. Thanks very much for any consideration and attention you could give this.
