    Hey all,

    I'm using ArchLinux 2.6.27 installed on my AA1 and have a networking problem. It appears new Ath5k wifi module works out of the box with the new kernel but every so often (10-60min) it will stop working. The only solution is to restart the Ath5k module and initiate network restart from the console which is really annoying.

    I have noticed in dmesg the following repeating several times:
    Code:
    ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2462MHz)
    Until eventually it would come to this:
    Code:
    wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX - assume out of range
    Any further attempts for the driver to re-authenticate time out until I force reinsert the driver module. Anyone know how to resolve this?

    Thanks.
