Comment 31 for bug 267089

Two of the three patches mentioned in the upstream bug report are already in the upstream kernel and will be making their way into Jaunty:

    ath9k: correct expected max RX buffer size

The third patch is in the wireless-testing tree but I imagine it will find it's way into Jaunty as well:

ogasawara@yoji:~/wireless-testing$ git log c7bd0826b3080cf3d328793adc5cb2b585277bb4

commit c7bd0826b3080cf3d328793adc5cb2b585277bb4

    ath9k: Handle -ENOMEM on RX gracefully

All three of these patches are currently in the ubuntu-intrepid-lbm git tree (ie linux-backports-modules-2.6.27) since it was recently updated to the wireless-testing master-2008-11-24:

ogasawara@yoji:~/ubuntu-intrepid-lbm$ git log

    UBUNTU: Update to wireless-testing master-2008-11-24

    Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner <email address hidden>

The version of linux-backports-modules-2.6.27 which will contain these patches should eventually make it's way into intrepid-proposed for testing and then available as an update.

Thanks.
