Title:
  ath9k performances are unacceptable

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in Mactel Support:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Tested with a Macbook Pro 2G (late 2006, Core 2 Duo + Atheros AR5008)
  and Intrepid.

  I'm the lucky guy with a pretty good internet bandwith, around 10
  Mb/s.

  With Intrepid, the wifi works "out of the box" thanks to the ath9k
  driver, unfortunately, the price is poor performances, my connection
  speed can't get more than 1 Mb/s (instead of 10).

  This bug report is not based on the NetworkManager reported speed, but
  based on some internet ADSL speed test web sites.

  The last time I did the test with the following web site : http://www.degrouptest.com/test-debit.php, the reported performances were :
  - Hardy + madwifi ng 20080301 -> 7700 kb/s
  - Intrepid + ath9k -> 935 kb/s

  I made this test with several other web sites at different times, and
  same result. Anyone can easily understand this is not acceptable.

  I also did a real test case : watch the TV through the ADSL
  connection, with the Hardy configuration, no problem, with Intrepid it
  is just not possible.

  I'm sorry because I won't be able to perform further tests, I need my
  Internet connection and as I couldn't be able to find a working fix, I
  downgraded my computer to Hardy...and I'm waiting for some progresses
  in Jaunty.

  But I can answer questions.
