[Bug 356768] Re: ath5k driver hangs periodically, please include trivial patch in kernel

[Aldrin Martoq]

I'm sorry to take my last comment back: It worked correctly until last
night when I was watching an online video and the connection stopped
intermittently, making the whole experience unusable... Now I found the
reason:

root at amartoq-macbook:/var/log# zgrep -h 'noise floor calibration' * | cut -b 1-6 | sort | uniq -c
     62 May  2
     86 May  4
      6 May  5
root at amartoq-macbook:/var/log# uname -a
Linux amartoq-macbook 2.6.28-11-generic #43~356768manjo1 SMP Tue Apr 28 22:06:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux


Not sure what make the bug reappear, I've just started this notebook and got temporarly connection problems.


I'm using a Macbook1,1 and in MacOS X Tiger wireless work flawlessly; it has an option that says "Activate Noise Reduction" but have not found the same in modinfo ath5k... Maybe as a workaround we could disable this noise floor feature?
