Comment 84 for bug 300693

Ever since I started using ath5k I've stopped getting the lockups. Everytime i started using the ath_pci I got lockups. I used ath_pci because ath5k wouldn't even associate to APs in a noisy environment. That is, where there were a lot of wireless networks around. Ath5k is getting better though. I used to get lockups on ath5k but a lot less frequent so maybe you could try a more recent version. The last couple of months I did not get any lockups with ath5k and I haven't had any lockups on Karmic either and the Karmic ath5k seems to keep a more stable connection as well.

I'm on a IBM Thinkpad T60 with a ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 and Atheros AR5212.

I use the open source driver for the ATI video controller.
