[Bug 341952] Re: ath5k locks up system in jaunty - "ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout"

[Nicholas Coltharp]

I'm having a similar problem.

I'm using an Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI
Express Adapter (rev 01) with the ath5k module. Every now and then, my
system freezes, but I don't know if that's the wireless's fault.
However, it DOES always happen right when I'm trying to connect, so I
think I have reasonable suspicion.

Furthermore, every so often, my ethernet simply refuses to connect. It
will detect the networks, but it won't be able to connect to any of
them, and I get the same messages that you posted. When this happens,
resetting only makes the problem worse: all of the networks become
invisible.

The ONLY way that I have found to fix this problem is to restart, hook
the computer up to a network physically, log in, wait for the network to
connect, and then unplug. Then, for some reason, my network works again.
