I have this problem on my Dell 640m Inspiron laptop. My downloads are about 2MB/s after a clean reboot but drop to about 700KB/s after a few minutes and never recover, until the next reboot.
I've tried the current linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic (with iwl3945 v1.2.0), linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-19-generic (with iwl3945 v1.2.25), and compat-wireless-2008-07-25 (with iwl v1.2.26k) and all exhibit the problem and with no difference between them. I also configured my router as 802.11g only (as suggested above) but that made no difference. This wireless chipset is so common and this bug is such a PITA that I'm surprised there are not more people clamoring here for a fix? -- major throughput difference (between upload and download) when using iwl3945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176271 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
