Description of problem: Network throughput is unstable on my eeepc 1001px using the ath9k moudule for the AR2427 wireless device. After compiling and installing the ath9k module from compat-wireless-2010-07-08.tar.bz2 all seems to works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: While browsing random requests never end or are really slow to respond During a ping, +10% packets are lost. When downloading throughput is varying a lot during the download. Steps to Reproduce: 1. ping with default ath9k, and see packet loss. 2. update ath9k from compat-wireless-2010-07-08.tar.bz2. 3. ping with new ath9k loaded, and see no packet loss. Actual results: packet loss Expected results: no or accidental packet loss Additional info: First tried kernel-2.6.34.1-29.fc13.x86_64.rpm from http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org to check if 2.6.34 fixed it, same results. Then tried wireless-2010-07-31.tar.bz2, but it did not compile, with the following error net/wireless/core.c:937: error: storage size of ‘vaf’ isn’t known here a report http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/internet-en-draadloos/asus-eeepc-1001-px/msg632534/ suggesting compat-wireless-2010-07-28.tar.bz2 has the same compile issue. Just gambled and tried compat-wireless-2010-07-08.tar.bz2 which compiled and all seems to works fine. source of downloads wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2010/07/
I'm sorry, but you'll just have to use the compat-wireless bits and/or wait for a later upstream base for the Fedora kernels (e.g. 2.6.36).
