I found out that the MTU size on my router (Netgear WGR614) is set to
1492 bytes. If my network card uses anything higher than 1492, I have
problems loading web pages.
I guess this means that network-manager is not detecting and/or applying

What do I need to do in order
Are you explicitly sure that this is linked to Intrepid vs Hardy, and

your network)?
This sounds like behavior from being near the connection limit on a

Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) - I
replaced the Broadcom one with this one.

I found a solution! Turns out my original attempt at modifying the MTU
size was flawed.
Running the line below completely solves the problem:
sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1492
Now, how should the developers go about fixing this? Is simply lowering
the MTU size a reasonable permanent
