Comment 5 for bug 333730

Today, I re-installed "from scratch" Intrepid on my computer because of issues with the graphic environment. I made all updates to Intrepid and I faced so many problem with the wireless connection that all I have to say is GARBAGE.

Here is a test case :
1. Do some work needing the network
2. Once the connection has crashed, run:
   sudo killall NetworkManager
   sudo modprobe -r ath9k
   sudo modprobe ath9k
   sudo NetworkManager
3. Then NetworkManager seems to be reconnected but a ping would show that this is not the case, at this point if we retry the same sequence as above, the "killall NetworkManager" doesn't exit and all network commands are blocked.
4. Try to restart the computer, and the graphic banner disappears for some text lines showing:
"wlan0 (WE): Wireless Event Too Big (320)

And that's all.

So to me, ath9k is a piece of s...., I'm sorry but I spend so many hours just because of this problem that I'm a bit angry.
