After reading through this chain, I'm not entirely sure what I can/should do at this point to get a reasonably stable connection until all of the fixes come through. I'm on a Dell Studio 1558 machine with Intel Wireless card. When I start doing anything with any significant download, my Netgear WNDR3300 AP crashes and restarts. I had been running DD-WRT on that router, but based on these issues I reverted it to standard firmware with no improvements. I'm running in G mode, but I don't believe I have the disable N option set at this point. I'm also dealing with a backlight issue that Kamal fixed via PPA, so switching kernels is a bit tricky.
$ -> uname -a Linux craig-Studio15 3.0.0-14-generic #23+kamal~fix~stuck~backlight4-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 25 23:59:25 UT x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35) I'm running Network manager and I'm willing to switch to WICD if it will get me a stable connection. I'm OK if the connection isn't N if it doesn't crash the AP. I would appreciate some direction on best approach for the short term. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/836250 Title: [Oneiric] [Regression] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor networking, packet loss and very slow Lenovo X201 and T500 laptops Status in The Linux Kernel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Status in “network-manager” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “network-manager” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: This may be either network-manager or kernel, depending on triage... I have verified this on both a Lenovo X201 and a Lenovo T500 laptop. Both work perfectly with fully updated 10.10 and 11.04 versions of Ubuntu. However, booting into a fully updated 11.10 (as of 28/08/11) I get very poor wireless networking performance. Between 6-10% packet loss, very very slow connection and transfer rate. All in all, practically unusable. I have reported the bug on the X201 laptop, I will add the similar logs from the T500 also if required. As soon as I swap back to either 10.10 or 11.04 I get perfect wireless, it's only on 11.10 that I get problems, this would suggest it's not hardware or configuration on my side. I have had this since first installing 11.10 which was a little after Alpha 2. Wired connection is fine.
