I just updated to the latest Ubuntu kernel and had the same slow connection. I then went and downloaded the latest compat-wireless source from:
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat- wireless-2011-03-03.tar.bz2 After following the same rough instructions I posted in #298, I am now happy to report that all has been running stably with good download speeds for over an hour. --- From http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ Download Speed: 5084 kbps (635.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 643 kbps (80.4 KB/sec transfer rate) Fri 04 Mar 2011 12:24:12 AM CST This is comparable to my wife's M$ machine. I didn't go through the history to determine if it was the kernel or drivers, but I am back in a truly working state for now. I will post back if anything changes. $ lspci -vnn | grep -A 1 Wireless 06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4222] (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection [8086:1000] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45 $ uname -a Linux billlaptop 2.6.35-27-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 21:46:58 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux -- 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
