Version: 2.6.24-2
Severity: normal

Hash: SHA1

Card has been working for quite a while using madwifi and the same access points. Usually at
maximum speed (54Mbits/s).  With ath5k I could barely get it to associate, and the rate was
stuck at 1Mbits/s.  In addition, dhclient was unable to get an ipaddress, indicating that
packets either could not be sent or received.  Rebooting into 2.6.23-1-686 with madwifi
worked as expected, showing that neither card, AP nor DHCP server has any problems.
