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

sml, 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 driver (AR2413): dropped packets, high latency

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using the ath5k driver (AR2413 chip) on the lucid kernel I get high
  latencies and dropped packets. eg. Web pages load slowly if at all. I
  believe it is related to this bug in fedora:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506372

  I tried installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
  (linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-21-generic at the time of
  this report) and also tried loading ath5k with:

  modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1
  AND
  modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=0

  Neither of these had any effect on the problem. However, installing the 2.6.33 kernel from the mainline ppa fixes the problem completely!
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/

  I will attach the results of pinging my router under both the 2.6.32
  and 2.6.33 kernels for proof of the fix.

  A backported patch for the lucid kernel would be great! :-)
