           Summary: ath9k drops connection after 2 to 3 minutes connected
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.28
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Wireless
        AssignedTo: networking_wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org

Latest working kernel version: 2.6.28
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.28
Distribution: gentoo
Hardware Environment: asus m70vm-x1 laptop
Software Environment: gnome, firefox, thunderbird, eclipse, ssh tunnels, eio
Problem Description: 

This new years, I compiled the linux kernel from source, hoping that the fixes
on the ath9k would fix a dropping issue, that I was having in 2.6.27 which
would only drop my connection if I left my laptop on over night, which wasn't a
big issue.  Anyway, the problem I am having now, is that when I get onto my
system, it usually drops my connection after 2 to 3 minutes.  I restart the
connection /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart, then I get a connection to only be
dropped 2 to 3 minutes again.  I end up rebooting into the 2.6.27 kernel since
it is much stabler.  I also notice alot more missing keystrokes on the 2.6.28
kernel, this might be unrelated.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log on, and wait for it to drop connection.  Or, just log on and restart by
typing: /etc/init.d/net.wlan restart   on a command line.
