Wireless Driver For EEE 1005HA-P?

[popejeremy]

I'm running Karmic on my Asus EEE 1005HA-P, and wifi reception seems a bit flaky sometimes. Is there perhaps a special driver somewhere that I should be using instead of whatever came with Ubuntu Netbook Remix? If so, how can I get it? Thanks!

Yes, I am. Damn, that bug-page looks like a mess.

same computer, i just did a fresh install of karmic about two days ago, and everything is working fine besides when i close my laptop or let it go to sleep i begin to get terrible wifi reception.

I have found that closing the laptop and opening it back up helps sometimes, or what has always worked for me is a soft reboot. (ik. its not a fix, but its the best that can be done right now with ath9k such a mess).

give it a try next time the reception sucks. post the results.
