    Try to turn off power save mode. sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
    I assume your card is wlan0.

    After I finished the upgrade to 11.04, my Ath9k wireless driver gave me downloads of 0.90 Mbps where I was previously getting 30.0 Mbps. The solution below worked for me in Ubuntu 11.04... Good Luck!

    Enter the following Code in a terminal session:

    sudo -s

    echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

    reboot

    I have altogether about 5 hours experience in Ubuntu and not all that familiar with a unix environment. After reading at least 20 pages of people's not so successful attempts at rebuilding the driver from source I'm glad to have found a simple solution that just works. I'm back up from 50 KB/s to my usual 1.2MB/s.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!
