Since 11.10 this has been a problem, The connection on 11.04 used to be fine but since 11.10 the connection became very unreliable in that Internet connectivity would come and go and seem to speed up and slow down several times in a few minutes. The Gnome network settings however always reported a 1Mb/s connection as did iwlist.
I did log bugs on this but they never seemed to be assigned and were just closed after some time. In the end my only work around was to buy a usb wifi stick and blacklist the onboard. The laptop dual boots Windows 7 and the onboard works just fine there Steve -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869141 Title: 10ec:8192 Wireless Always reports speed as 1Mb/s no matter what the speed really is To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869141/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
