i got toshiba satellite a215-sp6806 with ubuntu 9.04 (actualized) with wireless chip atheros

Teh problem is that the wireless detects me the conections with great signal but, if i get conected and stay away from the connection for 5 meters it get stopped from get connection, even if the coneccted signal is good,

I hav etried to change the driver by ndiswrapper but i can get the right driver, even if a unzip a .exe file i can get the right .inf driver

Can u help me to get the right driver???? because it isnt in the toshiba support page in europe nor america, or how to change the chip configuration, to get a right conecction

Atheros drivers are now in the Linux kernel, no need to use ndiswrapper. Just modprobe ath5k. I guess in Ubuntu it's sudo modprobe ath5k. Question is, if your wifi is already working, how did you set it up in the first place? Ubuntu would have set up your driver automatically with ath5k.
You could do lsmod in terminal and look to see if ath5k is listed. If you tried to set up Atheros using ndiswrapper over the kernels ath5k, that could be causing a problem. Guess you'll have to take a look and see. Since I'm a Debian user and not an active Ubuntu user I'm assuming that 9.04 has the latest kernel.
I also found a link on the ubuntu forums with someone who has a similar laptop, maybe reading through the thread will give you some ideas.
