not sure if the Internet provider just sucks, or I am hitting a wireless
issue. basically my connection times out after a few mins of being
up.(streaming radio is not solid).

I'm running exactly the same chip (according lspci) without any problem.
But I'm using slightly different environment:
1. 64 bit
2. kernel 3.1 (some time ago, I run 3.0, too, but cannot remember
having any problems related ar9285).
3. no network manager - just plain wpa_supplicant.
4. wpa_supplicant 0.7.3
If you like to, you could just check, if the problem is network manager
related. Try to stop it and run wpa_supplicant manually as root like
this (ensure, that no other wpa_supplicant process is running at the
same time):
wpa_supplicant -t -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dnl80211
-i wlan0
-c is the config file. -i is the device name.
sample config file for WPA2 PSK would be:
network={
ssid="your network name"
# scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="your psk"
proto=WPA2
}
If you see a line like this:
WPA: Key negotiation completed with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP]
you can go to another terminal and start dhclient or dhcpcd like this:
dhcpcd wlan0 (or whatever your device name is)
If this is all running fine, you most probably face a network manager
problem.
Hope that helps,
regards,
Andreas

The timeouts I have not see just yet; only the RX DMA thing which I am
monitoring and trying to recreate, so I can _possibly_ bisect. as for
the timeout(s) I have not see this with the current, there is a bug
report on this(2.6.37 or so) but I think the bug was closed due to no
participation or something.
also make sure you have power save off(iwconfig wlan* power off) because
from what I remember powersave on is what triggers the timeout(s)

Hi,
Please bisect the kernel to see if you can find a time where it worked.
And try disabling ANI and see if that helps.
ath9k seems to have a weird issue with the AR5008 series stuff
(AR5416/AR5418) with noise floor calibration + ANI == weird RX
deafness.
FreeBSD doesn't seem to have this issue with the AR5416. I don't (yet) know why.
Thanks,
Adrian

I'm having a similar or the same problem, it's been nagging me for at
least 1.5years.
If I'm able to connect I get frequent dropouts from any wireless network
I'm connected to. It gets sluggish and after a little while disconnects,
and once it has disconnected it just keeps reconnecting and failing.
sometimes a reboot helps, but most of the time it wont help anymore than
a couple of seconds to a minute. It's also impossible to connect to my
wireless hotspot on my Xperia Mini Pro and it seems ad-hoc networks are
also impossible.
I'm running ubuntu 11.10 with latest patches applied as of today. Since
i've not seen anything being solved during this time i doubt anyone has
been trying to, or has been able to solve the problem recently.

after having network-manager trying to connect to my hotspot for a while

complete dmesg and lsmod is attached.
What i've found that seems relevant on a quick google-run:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42092
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773154
No solution in sight though.
If there's any way that i can help solve this please let me know!

please no top-posting!
Anyway a bisect is easy just would like a way to recreate this?(so that
I am not wasting my precious time) does anybody know how to do this? any
kind of C code to trigger this? any tweaking with NM etc.. to trigger
this? reading through
