(Get the code!)
Hello,
I have an Acer Aspire One and get kernel panics using the default ath5k. I'm currently using an Atheros AR242x Wireless Adapter.
I can connect without problem to the wireless router. However, any 100mb downloads or Bittorrent use would either cause a cease in network activity or a kernel panic.
I have tried using the latest madwifi drivers, the linux backport modules, and ndiswrapper. All of them cause network activity to cease from prolong use or a kernel panic.
I am currently using an archived ath5k module, specifically dated 2009-07-31. I still lose network activity or even get a few disconnects when downloading >100mb or using Bittorrent. On the other hand, with this module, I don't get any kernel panics as of now.
By using the archived module, I don't have to be wary of getting a kernel panic, which is a serious problem. I just think it would help as a very loose remedy currently until its fixed.
