have the same trouble with my eee 900, and made more or less the sames
things that you describes here trying to fix it, with the same

i am thinking to try the ath5k driver:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/UseLastAtherosModule, but
dont know if it would work.

any one here using ath5k?

Thanks in advance
