Comment 1 for bug 460006

Seen on an IBM Thinkpad T41 (x86). lspci says I have an "Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)" (ID 168c:1014) and the module ath5k is loaded, from linux-image-2.6.31-17-generic 2.6.31-17.54. There are no activities that trigger it for me ("host www.google.com" usually completes instantly) but I can see in syslog every 2 minutes exactly there is a CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS line, and simultaneously any traffic I'm sending/receiving (such as ssh keystrokes or a pulseaudio stream) will be buffered, and appear after 2 to 5 seconds. It seems that even on UDP (nc -u) traffic is not lost, only delayed.
