After testing Intel 3945 on Ubuntu 10.10 & Ubuntu 11.04, I can confirm the issue still exists with WPA2 Routers.
I finally only got it working on Guadalinex V.7, a very nice ubuntu based distro.

Set Beacon interval to 10ms. Set DTIM interval to 10ms/5ms. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621265 Title: Slow Wireless Connection in Intel 3945abg -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
