Comment 8 for bug 269253

I've also got an Aspire one. Blacklisting ath_pci worked as a fix on kernel 2.6.27-4, but after upgrading to 2.6.27-6 I am now getting this problem. So far, I haven't manually compiled anything.

My dmesg is filling up with this:

[ 159.284886] ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2412MHz)
[ 159.284920] ath5k phy0: ath5k_chan_set: unable to reset channel (2412 Mhz)
[ 159.284937] wlan0: failed to set freq to 2412 MHz for scan

I can see a list of wireless networks in range, but I cannot connect to them.
