I am testing RC1. I have to say that using ath9k is more problematic
than before. Now, I can't get a signal in my backyard, where the
connection icon shows a 40% signal, ping says destination host is
unreachable when pinging the router:
ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

No additional information in /var/log/messages.

Was working fine in Fedora 10 and also, works fine when I am"nearer"
to the router. Seems to me some sort of regression.

Thanks,
Partha
