Already reported once here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/12738 Same problem was reported by others here: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1773 and here: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1773 (german) The second (german) link from comment #2 should have been: http://groups.google.com/group/de.comp.os.unix.linux.hardware/browse_thread/thread/979eaf9288fcb928 I tested the patch by Bob Copeland in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ath5k.devel/843 and it fixes this problem. It would be great if the patch could go into 2.6.26, since then it would be the first kernel which supportes WPA with ath5k... Updated patch is here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/14684 was just fixed with commit a0abb93bf9dc590b031a1123f3e6c6c225c1cdd1 into Linux kernel 2.6.26-rc3. Thanks! I seem to be having a similar problem with 2.6.30-rc3 on ubuntu jaunty. dmesg While viewing a hulu video: [19652.168794] ath5k phy1: Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70) [19656.152973] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [19657.221913] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:15:c7:ab:5c:20 try 1 [19657.424745] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:15:c7:ab:5c:20 try 2 [19657.621040] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:15:c7:ab:5c:20 try 3 [19657.820090] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:15:c7:ab:5c:20 timed out [19661.224356] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19661.225649] wlan0: authenticated [19661.225656] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19661.424068] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19661.624078] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19661.824066] wlan0: association with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 timed out [19672.304688] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19672.304739] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19672.305969] wlan0: authenticated [19672.305975] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:11 [19672.309317] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:18:74:49:4b:11 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) [19672.309323] wlan0: associated [19672.310721] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [19683.100037] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present [19685.760764] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [19685.764384] wlan0: authenticated [19685.764391] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [19685.964076] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [19686.164077] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [19686.364097] wlan0: association with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 timed out [19696.894815] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [19696.896087] wlan0: authenticated [19696.896094] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [19696.898848] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:18:74:49:4b:14 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) [19696.898850] wlan0: associated [20016.081046] wlan0: beacon loss from AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 - sending probe request [20018.081070] wlan0: no probe response from AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 - disassociating [20020.285604] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:15:c7:ab:0c:24 [20020.286813] wlan0: authenticated [20020.286815] wlan0: associate with AP 00:15:c7:ab:0c:24 [20020.290036] wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:15:c7:ab:0c:24 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=33) [20020.290039] wlan0: associated [20112.215937] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [20112.217289] wlan0: authenticated [20112.217293] wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:74:49:4b:14 [20112.220226] wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:18:74:49:4b:14 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) [20112.220229] wlan0: associated I seem to be having a similar problem with 2.6.30-rc3 on ubuntu jaunty with Network Manager, WPA mschapv2 authentication.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad with iwlagn that normally doesn't have any wifi connection issues. Additionally, I have an Acer Aspire ONE netbook with an "Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001" (168c:001c) adapter; plus I have a USB stick with an RT73 chip. When I use the Atheros adapter of the netbook, it disconnects sporadically from my AP (an old low-end Micronet device, set to WPA-PSK). If I use the rt73usb stick, things are fine. The part where it gets strange is that when using the Atheros adapter, the Thinkpad with the iwlagn adapter is also disconnected whenever the Atheros is disconnected, and the kernel messages are roughly the same. This leads me to believe that the Atheros card sends something that confuses the AP so thoroughly that it disassociates all clients. Here is a somewhat collated kernel log of the two (gehenna is the Thinkpad with awlagn, cherub is the Aspire One with ath5k): Jul 25 12:50:02 cherub kernel: [ 789.872172] wlan0: deauthenticated

cherub kernel: [ 959.945532] ath5k phy0: unsupported jumbo I'll get more precise timestamps using socklog instead of syslogd if it makes sense. I also tried to plug the rt73 usb stick into the aspire one, set it to monitor mode and capture the traffic when the ath5k is acting up. I collated the output of tcpdump -nlvvve with the kernel log; I don't know if this is useful at all, but I'll attach the file. Created attachment 22488 [details]
monitor mode tcpdump log collated with kernel log
Captured on the computer with the buggy ath5k driver, using an rt73usb adapter in monitor mode. The timestamps in the kernel log were provided by socklog/svlogd (there might be a lag of a few msec due to the pipe read/writes).
I removed the beacon frames on the assumption that they wouldn't be interesting.
