Well - perhaps we are talking about two different problems, but I am not using WPA at all, so there is clearly a problem here that is independent of WPA. This occurs in 11b mode (or perhaps against 11b-only access points?), and the symptoms are lots of dropped packets (e.g. reported by 'ping', poor transfer rates, broken/locked up connections) labelled as "RX dropped" by ifconfig, and "Invalid misc" by iwconfig. Signal and Noise reported by iwconfig are always within 1dB of each other, but Link quality is reported as okay (e.g. 67/100), so I'm not sure if that is a problem or not.
Anyway I "solved it" by replacing my 11b AP with a new 11n one - which so far seems to work great. Another solution might be ndis-wrapper and the Windows 3945-driver -- it seems to work in that other OS against the same AP. Anyone care to try? -k -- ipw3945 Wifi connection is very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103210 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
