I also had these problems with weak signal and bad performance with my RTL8187 usb stick under Jaunty.
iwconfig also only showed 1Mb/s, even when I manually changed it to something else. On my DSL router I had WPA2 enabled (not both WPA & WPA2). But Wicd could only do this combo (not sure at the moment about network manager, but with network manager I had the same problem). So I installed this addon from the site www.elektronenblitz63.de (its German only unfortunately) which adds the options for just WPA or just WPA2 under Wicd. Using that, all of a sudden my link speed is up at 54Mb/s and signal quality is up as well. Hopefully this info is usefull. -- realtek rtl8187 weak signal, occasional slow performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
