** Description changed:

- I have a Realtek RTL8192 Wifi NIC with Oneiric beta 2 - If I go to the
- Gnome Network Settings popup then it always reports 1Mb/s
+ I have a Realtek RTL8192 Wifi NIC with Oneiric beta 2 and since Natty,
+ the wireless connection speed is 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 reports a 1Mb/s connection as
+ does iwlist.
