Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi folks,
I recently upgraded my girlfriend's laptop to Intrepid.
Afterwards I found out that when we're talking via skype the quality of the connection from her to me is a lot worse than before (sometimes I could hear just noise). The problem persisted all the time (reboots, different days, ...) but vanished after
$ sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove
and editing /etc/network/
I have to add that she's having a WLan-card which was enabled, but not connected. Her internet connection was established via cable and the XUbuntu installation is not a fresh one, but some 1,5 years old, but always up-to-date. Additionally, I have to admit that the computer is an old one, lspci gives:
00:0a.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01)
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74)
In a way the problem is solved, but not in a satisfying way ...
Please contact me if you need new information!
Thanks,
Harald

Thanks for the report, could you attach the interfaces file you edited? I don't know how network manager could make skype to work worse than the other way, it should be the same. Are you still facing this? Could you attach also a network manager log with the instructions provided at : https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingNe tworkManager ? thanks in advance.
