[Bug 700486] Re: ath5k slow on small transfers

 

Erik, 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) 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-v3.13-rc5

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 slow on small transfers

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am unable to browse the web using the ath5k driver in lucid's
  standard kernel. Using wget or scp to transfer big files (audio/video)
  works at the expected speed (for 54Mbps wireless -> 18Mbps -> 2,2
  MBps).

  I do believe this is unrelated to #369005 because I do not see the
  "unsupported jumbo" messages in my logs.

  Using the net5211 driver with ndiswrapper both browsing and wget/scp
  work at the expected speed .

  I have tried (in this order):
  1) using the ath5k module from linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless--2.6.36-2.6.32-27-generic. This makes no difference.
  2) booting the kernel & ath5k module from linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic available in lucids archive. This makes no difference.
  3) booting the kernel from linux-image-2.6.32-27-generic with pcie_aspm=off as suggested in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13892. This makes no difference either.

  I am currently downloading the newest lucid mainline kernel
  (2.6.35-rc1) to try that.

  If I can deliver more information please tell me what (and how).
