Thread: Wireless card just stops working?!


greetings,i'm using atheros ar5007eg wireless card on toshiba laptop. i'm using debian squeeze,and have following problem:
whenever use wireless more than...10 minutes,it stops. yes,just stops. no networks in range,restarting card doesn't work.

ifconfig shows following:

code:
eth0      link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:1b:38:15:41:e9              inet addr:192.168.0.100  bcast:192.168.0.255  mask:255.255.255.0            inet6 addr: fe80::21b:38ff:fe15:41e9/64 scope:link            broadcast running multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1            rx packets:223311 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:146756 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             rx bytes:261955673 (249.8 mib)  tx bytes:17175332 (16.3 mib)            interrupt:27 base address:0x8000     lo        link encap:local loopback              inet addr:127.0.0.1  mask:255.0.0.0            inet6 addr: ::1/128 scope:host            loopback running  mtu:16436  metric:1            rx packets:5240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:5240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:0             rx bytes:162448 (158.6 kib)  tx bytes:162448 (158.6 kib)    wlan0     link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:1b:9e:2f:14:30              broadcast multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1            rx packets:90623 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:61760 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             rx bytes:115629452 (110.2 mib)  tx bytes:7311398 (6.9 mib)
this dmesg shows after networking restart
code:
[ 8082.690218] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2457mhz)  [ 8083.082467] ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2462mhz)  [ 8083.412733] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2462mhz)  [ 8083.802356] ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2412mhz)  [ 8084.130221] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2412mhz)

now,i point out other things:

yes,i know ath5k drivers bad unless update kernel newer version 2.6.28.1. i'm 2.6.32-5-686 version now. have tried using ath9k driver,nothing happens.

think that's all,i happy if

have tried moving network manager wicd? ar5001 works surprisingly wicd had many problems network manager, can't explain why.
