    Kernel Version: 2.6.28-11-generic

            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1

        AssignedTo: networking_wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org

Wired and 3G/HDSPA works like a charm though.

Wifi sucks.

Tried to compile latest stable from madwifi but there are conflicts with the
kernel so therefore i'm not capable to fix it my own.
So ath5 ar not on track.
