["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dax Solomon Umaming, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  ath5k Atheros AR5007G/AR2417 Chip Connected to Router but No Internet

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I bought a TP-Link WN 350GD PCI Wifi Card with an Atheros chip. It worked well on Natty and Oneiric, until a few weeks ago (probably after a kernel upgrade) when it started acting funky. It's connected to the router alright, but the internet's either disconnected, or very very slow - slower than dialup. 
  Signal strength's good at 77%, authenticated via WPA2-Personal.

  I'm using both LAN and Wireless connections (LAN's routing is enabled)
  since LAN connection's for the internal network, while the wireless
  connection's for the Internet. I can usually scan and ping other
  devices/workstations connected wirelessly but not anymore. Every now
  and then, the wifi card would allow me to connect to a website at 15K-
  20Kbps, but it'll disconnect soon after. Syslog shows that the card
  keeps on re-authenticating to the network. Something that does not
  happen on my TP-Link USB Wifi with Ralink chipset - and they're
  averaging at 65%-75% signal strength.

  I've already tried booting to v2.6.39, v3.0.0-15, and v3.2.1 (which I got from kernel.ubuntu.com for precise pangolin) kernels with no success.
  I've even tried compiling compat-wireless by following the instructions on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Directly_downloading_the_tarball
  I've also commented out ath_pci from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf
  all with the same result. 

  I haven't tried using wicd as suggested in the forum since it doesn't
  support simultaneous connections

  So is this an ath5k bug? or did my pci wifi card went south. I can't
  replace it at the moment since this is a company workstation and might
  take a while to get a replacement card.  By the way, the workstation
  I'm using is a dev workstation and a web/database/ntpd server for our
  prototypes which means it's on 24/7.
