many log entries: ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2462MHz) and loose wireless connection. Only can reconnect by warm/cold reboot.
found on google two work-a-rounds: add to boot: processor.ignore_ppc=1 add to wireless card parameters/options: fastchanswitch
the first has worked for me for about 12 hrs. did not have problems with previous kernel
Have not filed bug-report ????
Neither of the above work-a-rounds do the job. Still dropping wireless connection with the "gail calibration timeout" notice.
Help ????
If the "processor.ignore_ppc=1" option fixes it, it does not seem to be a problem with ath5k, but with something deep in the kernel. I think you should post on the linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org ML. Just in case it is something wilt ath5k, also post on linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org. The wireless developers will see it there. I assume that the "previous" kernel was 3.2, but be specific.
