Bug Description
ubuntu 10.04/"lucid lynx"

linux-image-
ath5k sees LLC, but not data, packets when channel hopping in monitor/promiscuous mode (eg kismet, airodump).
start of email thread on linux-wireless (bug report -> diagnosis -> patch)

corresponding patch in recently released 2.6.32.16

i looked in the most recent (2.6.32-24.38) changelog and didn't see any applicable references to "ath5k", so i presume this bug has not been fixed in a proposed update.
i figure this is a low priority bug/patch (except for us white/black hats), but consider this bug report my vote for inclusion in lucid's kernel and the above linux-wireless email thread another ubuntu user's vote (ie "The 2.6.32 kernel shipped in lucid never sees data packets.").
thanks for maintaining the linux kernel in ubuntu!
Hi undefined,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily/ current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 602795
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
