Description of problem:as the ath5k this module doesn't work well, speed is a nightmare, as reported in common bugs section of fedora 15 "poor transfer speeds with Atheros-based wireless chipsets" But it has another bug: once de-activadted, either via software (network-manager) or via hardware, via laptop switch, wireless interface never came up again. my laptop is a n acer 5630ez ,2yrs old wireless chip is AR928X Wireless Network Adapter it works with ath9k kernel module. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: everytime i switch off wireless Steps to Reproduce: 1.install distro form dvd fedora 15 i386 2.yum update -y 3.switch interface off Actual results: poor transfer rate, once de-activated, never came up Expected results: in fedora 14 no problems, it seems a kernel-module related problem Additional info:
Do you still have this problem with the 2.6.40.x F15 kernels?
(In reply to comment #1) > Do you still have this problem with the 2.6.40.x F15 kernels? Problem solved with 2.6.40 kernel. but f15 bug in ath9k kernel module (#702722) is alwais here... solution provided by fedora is good, but it persist also in fedora 16.
I'm going to treat this as the bug entry for the rfkill issue, and close it on the basis of comment 2. Please use bug 702722 for addressing any continuing performance problems.
