A posible solution: I was the same problem with ubuntu 10.10
I marked the pre-release updates and the unsupported updates in the update manager. This get the kernel 2.6.35-24-generic and install it. With a slow connection this would be hours to install it!!! After the update the connection works normally for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621265 Title: Slow Wireless Connection in Intel 3945abg -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
