Package: wireless-tools

The bug may or may not depend on localization, but I noticed a line in
my /var/log/dmesg file that says: "ath: country alpha2 being used: CN",
while the system is set up for French and that I never use any other
language than French or English.
My device depends upon ath9k, and a google search showed that many other
users have same freezing problems with this TP-LINK wireless PCI adapter.
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/bugs#Hangs_with_PCI_devices_and_SMP_systems
is a link where I have seen such reports. On that desktop computer, I am
on Debian Squeeze, originally with kernel 2.6.32, but I soon installed
3.2.0 from Debian repository, with no success as far as said bug is
concerned, and then I compiled and installed kernel 3.2.11, with same
result.
On the Ubuntu forum, I read that users have the same problem with this
ath9k driver on TP-LINK TL WN751ND, up to Ubuntu 11.04, but that it has
been satisfactorily corrected in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
My wireless connection does happen all right and it seems to work
well... but it lasts only about 10 to 90 seconds, which is enough for a
quick test... then the whole system freezes and I have no other
alternative than disconnecting mains power. My /var/log/daemon.log file
does not show anything wrong, nor does the 'messages' file.

The country code is specified by the hardware and sometimes by the AP.
Grey imports may have the wrong country code. You can set the correct
country code using the 'iw' tool.
