Being able to connect at all was an improvement over Quantal Alpha versions last week. With A2 on Acer Aspire 1 netbook 1.66 gHz Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 today cold start waited for 2 minutes then manually selected network applet, this time full 12 line menu appeared, selected connect to hidden wireless, selected Connection sat there for 20 seconds later it responded with the network name, selected that and did in fact connect a few seconds later.
In contrast took 30 seconds from cold start on Acer Aspire 5253 on the same wireless WPA network with Broadcom BCM43225 802.11/b/g/n messages: Wireless disconnected Wireless networks available Wireless connected no manual intervention required. No idea why it just didn't connect instead of giving all the messages. On restart reboot (no power off) network became active in seconds. The contrast between the two on the same network is quite striking. On Broadcom select a menu item on network Quantal responds to the mouse selection, on Intel I have to patiently wait to see if the mouse selection was heard at all. Quantal feeling like XP where there is no indication that a selection was being acted on until some time later. Any way to track down the very sluggish Quantal kernel 3.5.0-2 response with Intel compared to the quick 3.5.0-2 response with Broadcom? I've Precise available in another partition for comparison. With the Alpha code last week it was a dead fight to get the Centrino to connect at all, now it does reluctantlyy. Thanks for your attention.
