This bug was originally reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/461419 Several tens of bugs have been filed about the poor performance, drop-outs, and non connectivity of the AR5211/AR242x/AR5007 chipset with the ath5k driver. There is much debugging information at the above URL at the Launchpad tracker, forgive me for committing it like this. Thank you.
Anyone have anything to add here re: ath5k performance issues?
