Bug Description
Ubuntu karmic Alpha-3
The ath9k wireless is very unstable on my system. If you place any load at all on the wireless the connection freezes up and upper layer packets don't appear to get through (although iw is showing a lot of RX activity, but little TX).
The association appears to remain in place - just no throughput.
Sometimes the network connection will recover after several minutes and sometimes it locks solid.
This is with the access point about six inches from the laptop and the transmission signal at 87%

re-checked this on 2.6.31-5 and the system appears to want to negotiate to MCS 32 40Mhz or MCS 33 40Mhz which causes an awful lot of drop outs and reauthentications with the AP, along with the occasional DMA hang. However it appears to be much better than before.
