Comment 41 for bug 971809

I disabled hwcrypt by putting "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

I'm not sure about transfer speeds, I don't transfer that much data with this computer, but I do care about stability in the wifi, which did not improve. The connection drops and re-associates in different intervals, with this in dmesg:
