Bug Description

ath9k driver randomly disconnects and can only reconnect by reloading the module.. It doesn't happen often but, if had no idea how to reload the driver or what a driver was I'd be forced to reboot. In other words this would seriously piss off the average computer user.

When I ran dmesg I saw a lot of the following:

The issue seems gone for me after I stopped using the backport package.

But it was the same with -16 and -15 (wifi worked ok).
I didn't try the -17 and -16 backports.
Backports -15 had this issue for sure.

I had this with backports in 17, but now when 18 became available I
installed the kernel package and left out the backports packages. I left the
laptop on for around 20 hours now, and it is still working without issues.

I haven't tried the backports modules.

Can we mark this fixed?

This was after 9 days of fairly average usage (no big downloads or anything.) Kernel is 2.6.32-16-generic on amd64.

My network card is an edimax pci card. Router is billion BiPAC 7300N running in wpa/psk mode with g and n modes enabled.

I notice I also got: [784302.172896] ath9k: Could not kill baseband RX

Again, reloading the module fixed the issue.

It does not occur in any 2.6.35 mainline kernel, and I did not notice this bug when I tested .34 kernels. So I assume this has been taken care of but the fix hasn't trickled down to -stable/ubuntu yet.

I don't see that (AR5008). But I do have to remove and re-insert ath9k
every now and then when it starts dropping lots of packets.
