Precisely as the title says - I have the ath5k non-LBM driver in use, on latest Jaunty, amd64, 2.6.28-11-generic, and I periodically have the problems described on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12068.
There has been a patch available for ~4 months, which is approximately 10 lines all told, and simply adds sanity checks to the reset call in the driver which causes the problem. It's worked for me for four months, and I've been adding it by hand.
Please add it to L-B-M and/or the core kernel package - I know many other ath5k users with this problem, and this patch is sufficiently trivial that I'd be sad if it doesn't end up in.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=19574 is the patch.
Hi Rich,
Any idea why this patch hasn't been merged upstream yet? The reason I ask it is a lot of extra work for the Ubuntu kernel team to maintain out of tree patches. They usually prefer that patches be accepted upstream first before pulling them in.
Also, I just want to note that the kernel is currently frozen in preparation for Jaunty's upcoming release. So this would most likely have to wait as for a Stable Release Update, but again, may depend on this getting upstream first. Thanks.
