I'm having the same problem. ubuntu 8.10, fully updated (Apr 09). wired and wireless connections behave the same. Have had no response from linkedin. I have taken some additional "debugging" steps: 1. fully diabled ipv6 - no improvement 2. have tried using opera - no improvement 3. have tried using galeon - small improvement (?) 4. have tried specifying name servers manually - no improvement 5. have checked to make sure there is no local DNS caching... I'm not running a specific process to do this (no named) but perhaps something in gnome is doing this? network manager? LinkedIn has a help page suggesting flushing of the local dns cache as a solution to "slowness". This is my best lead. Especially after reading this possibly related post: http://www.nabble.com/dns-cache-td189025.html
In common with other posters here I have D-Link equipment: Wireless access point: Product Page: DIR-615 Firmware Version: 2.25 Hardware Version: B2 ADSL modem: Product: DSL-502T ADSL Firmware Version: 4.03.03.00 - 3.02.00.03 - 3.02.06.00 Annex A - 01.07.02 - 0.49 ADSL Software Version: V2.00B05.AU_20060710 Hope some progress can be made.
