-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Has anybody had issues with the default kernel ipw2200 drivers that come with Etch dropping packets? Pinging different sites show a 20%-50% packet loss over different WiFi networks. Using a wired connection on the same Internet gateway show 0% packet loss.
I would think that this was a hardware problem, but booting the same machine with an Ubuntu live-CD allows me to log onto the WiFi networks I used for testing with no trouble and no packet loss. The one difference I have found is that Etch has the driver version listed as 1.2.0mq and Ubuntu 7.10 lists the version as 1.2.0kmprq. The Intel Sourceforge site for the driver does not show "mq" and "kmprq" as version numbers, so I'm not sure where the real difference lies.
