Any chance of getting higher priority on this issue ?As this could be a bit of a show stopper for people to move to Ubuntu.
I believe that this is becoming a bigger issue that affects a large enough community (running IBM Thinkpads) that we need to get to the bottom of this.

I have seen various up and down performance on my Thinkpad T60 for the last 3 release cycles and was hopeing to get it more stable by the release of Karmic GA, but sadly it seems that there are no progress?

I am also finding more and more related bugs with various desctriptions etc all relating to Athereos wireless.
Root cause could boil down to the same thing ?? ? Not sure.

BTW, my wireless connection has deteriorated so much that it is almost unasable (Wanted 2 days to upgrade yesterday via Wireless connection on a 4GB ADSL line ?)
Hmmmm.

Getting up to 30% packet loss.... and very poor performance while I am a mere 10 m away from my AP.

Any comments welcome....
