Re: weird behaviour

[Manuel J Contreras Maya <manuel jose contreras maya gmail com>]

Hello Dan,

Thanks for answering. The pc it does have an Atheros Card:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

and I've got many of these in /var/log/messages 

Jul 13 13:16:39 localhost kernel: ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2427MHz)
Jul 13 13:16:39 localhost kernel: ath5k phy0: ath5k_chan_set: unable to reset channel (2427 Mhz)
Jul 13 13:16:41 localhost kernel: ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2427MHz)
Jul 13 13:16:41 localhost kernel: ath5k phy0: ath5k_chan_set: unable to reset channel (2427 Mhz)


The kernel is 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:19:59 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


So if you know what to do to fix this I am happy to help as much as I can. The card in Windows XP (pre installed) is working fine, no problems so far.


I checked the proxy configuration in Gnome but is not set but is "direct internet connection"
