[SOLVED] 2.6.36 kernel WIRELESS problem

Hi all,

Today I have updated to 2.6.36 everything if fine now, but my wireless gone mad.

For example when I downloaded the catalyst drivers the speed was 500kb(normal) after 30sec it dropped to 0 and I got timeout, after 30sec it got back again to 500kb. This is very annoying.

I use a tp-link pci card, the connection is fine(runs well on windows) the card uses the ath9k driver.

Here is the dmesg http://pastebin.com/mSBDtkPG

Here is my iwconfig http://pastebin.com/qfqmmRK0

Please help, thanks!

EDIT: In rage of everything falling apart(python, catalyst, wifi) I switched to Ubuntu, but that did not fix the problem with wifi, but anyway I found a great solution.

SOLUTION: Just install the windows driver with ndiswrapper! Now I get MAX speed and a stable connection!
