I can confirm this problem. uname -a Linux flaptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
link quality is tragically low even when I sit the laptop right beside tha access point. Was working 95% o.k. in 8.04.1 (small problem with dropped connections under heavy load but that was easy to deal with) the my wireless is now mostly 95% broken because the range is about 10 feet. using cat /proc/net/wireless shows Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22 wlan0: 0000 19. 65 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 as you can see the noise level is seriously high which it wasn't before upgrading and I can tell from other laptops that the high noise value is a false reading of some sort. (I'm fairly rural.. not a lot of interference) Please set this to high priority. And definitely strongly warn people before they upgrade as this will render any laptop with a built-in rtl8187 (which are many) nearly useless for mobile use. And it wil be a big shock to people coming from the stable environment of Hardy. if you need me to post more info let me know -- rtl8187 link quality poor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
