[Bug 1300296] Re: Atheros AR9285 wireless working badly on Ubuntu 13.10
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.14 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.

Title:
Atheros AR9285 wireless working badly on Ubuntu 13.10
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
at the request of penalvch I've used ubuntu-bug linux to repost the
bug originally reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/947697/
Please refer to the other bug report for other people suffering from
the same problem.
The problem: Wifi range and stability is still many times better in
Windows than it is in Kubuntu Linux (this is a dualboot system). In
many places like public libraries, where the laptop can be quite far
from the actual wifi receiver, I still have good signal and multi-MB/s
download speeds in windows while in ubuntu I cannot see the network,
cannot connect to the network or sometimes can connect but it drops
every minute or so.
Moving closer to the wifi receiver improves quality and sitting next
to the wifi receiver I have an excellent and uninterrupted connection,
so generally speaking, the driver works, but the problem is simply a
much more limited range than I have in windows 7 (again, this is a
dual boot system).
This problem has existed ever since I bought the laptop (A lenovo
b570e, running kubuntu 12.04 at that time, now kubuntu 13.10). The
behavior is consistent across all wifi networks. I've conducted quite
a bit of web searching, tried to install alternative drivers, etc but
to no avail.
If I can run any additional tests or anything else that will help you
fix this issue, just let me know . My daily frustration using ethernet
cables or my daily hunts for buildings's wifi receivers results in
considerable motivation to help fix this :)
