Comment 75 for bug 200509

I am still getting this problem on Jaunty with kernel 2.6.28-13. It mainly happens when some large files are transferred at high speed through my local wireless network (using SSH). The problem is infrequent, but it is inconvenient when a transfer is halted because of this.

Can anyone confirm that kernel 2.6.30 indeed fixes this? If so, can a fix be back-ported to Jaunty and other affected releases? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would prefer to remain on the "official" supported packages for the kernel.

The response from intellinuxwireless.org seems to indicate that this was a problem only when using channel 13 on the AP, but I am getting it with channel 10. They do report that it is resolved upstream though. Any idea when this proposed fix will make it into the Ubuntu package?

Lastly, if the problem is indeed overheating as some have suggested above, should the power consumption throttling be enabled by default? This would especially help those without the knowledge to create a startup script.
