Description of problem: This may be a repeat, but as I am not seeing the bug report I entered last week I am resubmitting it. After allowing package manager to update the kernel package from 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.x86_64 to 2.6.30.5-43.fc11, my wifi reception never goes above 50% whereas prior to the upgrade reception was never below 75%. When booting into the older kernel, acceptable reception returns. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.30.5-43.fc11 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot into newer kernel 2. 3. Actual results: WIFI reception is below 50% Expected results: WIFI reception at least 75% Additional info: Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
The same problem with a rt73 wifi adapter.
Upgraded to 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64 and degraded performance still exists. Booting into 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.x86_64 still returns higher > 75% signal strength.
