Comment 5 for bug 318560

Have been suffering form the same problem myself for about a year. I am on 8.10 (previous installation was an upgrade from 8.04, now have a fresh install with the same result). Connection is at full speed when booted into Windows. It only seems to take minutes for me to go from 10+Mbps to 1Mbps, and then it stays there. Signal is strong, reporting between 70 and 90%.

I am completely willing to help however I can by providing data and testing patches etc. For the love of broadband, someone please fix this driver that has been broken for YEARS.
