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.
