Title:
  ATH9K wireless signal weak

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Gentoo Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter has a low signal when in close range
  of station.

  I disabled hardware encryption with putting:
    options ath9k nohwcrypt=1
  in
    /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

  That doesn't seemed to help.

  The signal has 2 bars while it has full strength in windows. (I am 2
  meters away from the wifi station)
