I load the ath_hal and if_ath kernel modules, then I configure the interface using "ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.0.7 netmask 0xFFFFFF00 ssid mynetwork up" and it apparently works well,but when I ping a host some packets get lost (I get response for some packets and then it losts other packets,i get response again...), and when i do a more expensive operation like ping -f it starts sending packets and after some seconds i get: ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 then it sends more packets and says the same more times again... The ftp transferences doesn't work well, after showing some times the same error that "ping -f" prints, it stops transferring... Furthermore the system sometimes becomes unstable and it just hangs without printing anything to console. Any idea?
