Comment 34 for bug 182473

Shouldn't "lsmod | grep mac80211" work to check if that module is loaded?

I also have the motherboard asus p5k-e wifi and I'm also having problems with the wifi, on ubuntu 8.04 (64-bit). However, the wifi drops are not as frequent as they used to be just after the installation, which is a good thing. But they still happen, and some times when I try to load the module again, it hangs there, and I'm unable to kill the modprobe process.

I also have the "CTS protection enabled" (or disabled) messages in dmesg.
