    Hi guys,
    Our office have an old Satellite A215-S4747 notebook and overally it runs fine, however, as you know office conditions, there are other too many WLAN clients around us and at first i thought that the random WLAN drops were caused by channel interference, hence tried a lot of channels with no help. Even, today i got a WLAN drop using channel 3 (also tried 1, 6, 11...) whereas no client was using that channel nearby. It's using a stock Atheros AR5007EG Wireless NIC, and posting the screenshot below containing the current driver.

    Interestingly, when i moved that notebook to other district in my city, the drops are so few or never.

    What's the cause? Channel interference or faulty driver? Or any other reason?

    Thanks in advance!
