Giovanni,
I do not remember the madwifi setup in hardy or 8.10 . However, I do agree about the deteriorated performance of wifi on jaunty. I did not do pings then, so I do not have the figures. Nevertheless, I remember to be able to connect to some open networks at home to which I now cannot. This both with ath_pci and ath5k. It does not seem to be plausible that setup is messed up now. I think this could be something else in the kernel or/and the wifi modules themselves. Can you try running an old kernel which you had with 8.10 or 8.04? Some of your updated modules might not be able to load with that though...

This particular bug was filed due to ath5k crashed the my system.

Can we file another bug here?

Thanks
