Bug Description
I have an AR928X wireless card in my Asus M50-vM notebook and use the ATH9k driver in compat wireless. I use the bleeding edge package every day for several weeks to no effect. I am using wicd and I have tried ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 kernels 2.6.27 - 2.6.30rc5.
When I try and connect to an access point it connects fine and I can see plenty of networks with a strong signal. On connect it seems to work for about 5-10 seconds then all the signals in my list drop to 0% and If I refresh or do iwlist scan, they are all at 0% but the same networks are there. It then proceeds to drop the connection and reconnect every 5-10 seconds and I can sometimes pull a little traffic through during these times.
I have to restart to make the signals again reset to the correct percentage. Restarting networking or up and downing the interface has no effect whatsoever.
Here is the output of "dmesg | grep -i wlan1", I hope it is helpful:

I attached the entire output below.
It seems like a lot of the same but I don't want to miss anything out. Please let me know if I should post any other outputs. Any help would be great I have been struggling with this for many weeks, thanks in advance.
