My computer: Asus EeePC 1215B - APU AMD C-50, 2GB RAM.
Distro: Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 1 - 32-bit (64-bit the problem continues)
Kernel (uname -a): 3.2.0-18-generic-pae #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 2 22:11:12 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Driver wireless: ath9k
produto: AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
fabricante: Atheros Communications Inc.

In Windows 7 the signal is excellent, stable and strong. I use the netbook for every home, but in Ubuntu you can only connect a few meters away. In my university can not connect because the signal is too weak. In Windows 7 is okay. Everyone in my building at the university can connect very well with Windows. Who uses computer ath9k driver, no.

Just search on Google to know that everyone who uses Atheros AR9285 have problems, even with computer hardware certified by Canonical:
