after setting up everything with the new modem, i haven't had a kernel panic the whole day (some serious traffic has been going on like p2p more than 500 kBs, media streaming etc).. i sure hope it's not just luck..
i did 2 things..
1) changed my wireless router to "802.11b only" instead of "b and g"... i 'm not sure that this is what made it work 'cause i think i had already tried that before.. strange thing though: iwconfig gives me
ath0 IEEE 802.11g
but in case you cant' do that,
2) the second thing i tried is enabling the ath9k driver module.. apparently in 8.10 it's already in there (at least that's what i think) so just do
sudo modprobe ath9k
and then
lsmod |grep ath
and check it's enabled.. notice that you'll have to do that again if you restart, but if it actually works you can just add it as a startup command in system->preferences->sessions
cheers everybody.. i have good news...
