** Description changed: I am Newbie to Linux, but loving it as I go!! I'm running Ubuntu ver 10.10 Maverick Meerkat normal releases and I've discovered that while using wireless, I was only running in 802.11g mode @ 54Mbps when I'm pulling in 1 Gbps on my desktop hardwired! When I hard wire my Studio 1537 Laptop I can tell right away it's downloading much faster. The hardware info says I have a Broadcomm card, but in fact it is a Dell 5100 wireless, Intel Part Number 512_AN Besides intermittent dropped connections, my main issue is how, if possible, to get my card to give me N mode speeds? I should also mention, back when I first started a year ago, ver 8.0 I think it was, since then since an update along the road, my bluetooth no longer works either. Despite my lack of command line experience, I'm not missing dear ol windows in the least, just keep it on the desktop as a backup for when I dabble in things I don't understand with this O.S., but it's all worth it anyway, no matter how many times I've had to do a fresh install!!! A+++ to this O.S. and the Ubuntu Community. Commit Log for Mon Dec 6 20:05:58 2010 - Installed the following packages: a2ps (1:4.14-1.1) hp-ppd (0.9ubuntu2) hplip-doc (3.10.6-1ubuntu10.1) network-manager-gnome (0.8.1+git.20100809t190028.290dc70-0ubuntu3) psutils (1.17-27) wdiff (0.6.3-1) Here is some more info on my current system in an attempt to solve my wireless issues. I've got things so messed up, I can't even connect via wireless or send to wireless printer. Looks like a fresh install coming up "again" :) Thank you very much for your time. Best Regards, Pierre a.k.a. Pepe Perron.
