Slow web browsing. DNS hangs.

[Lucious Daniels Jr]

Binary package hint: firefox

On my Toshiba laptop (Satellite A105 - S1014) I am experiencing a slow web browsing due to dns hangs similar to the ones in Karmic. When I click a link I get a "waiting for <insert site here>" message at the bottom. Sometimes it connects other times it never does. This affects Firefox as well as Chromium. The laptop uses the Ath5k wireless driver. Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1 32bit
