Signal strenge showing as very weak

[Phillip Chandler]

I have a Dell Inspiron 1200, 512 megs ram, running Ubuntu 7.10 with a Belkin 54g Wireless card. F5D7010 Ver 7
lspci -nn lists 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Belkin Unknown device [1799:701f] (rev 20)

I tested the live cd of ubuntu 8.10 alpha 5. This distro picks up the belking card natively, but the signal strength to my Belkin wireless router is very weak. The laptop is two feet away from the router. But under 7.10 I have 100% signal, even though Im using wicd 1.5

Hi Phillip,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 267415

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
