Wifi troubles after upgrade to Jaunty on Asus X80L (chip Atheros AR928X)

[Eugene]

Hi!

I've recently upgraded my laptop Asus X80L from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04.
All is fine except wifi. It's now crazy.
1. It finds network very-very long. Before upgrade it took about several seconds, now it's about 1 minute. Also it can ask for stored password again and again.
2. It regularly losts network. If I ping the nearest gate, results are very strange: about 70 packets go ok, the next 30 are lost, and so on.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Fabio!

I can say that next Ubuntu (9.10) worked better, there was not enormose
packet loss (70/30 as written before). But several times a day it lost the
network and only reboot could help.

Unfortunately now I cannot check because I'm using another laptop.

Thank you.

Hello, Fabio!

Unfortunately, now I have now that laptop near me, so I cannot check it :(
