Comment 9 for bug 211094

I am a linux NewB. So please bear with me.
I have the latest Ubuntu version(8.04 with 2.6.24-19 updates) installed on my toshiba a305 laptop. I also have the iwl4965 driver on my machine. I am having exactly the same problem as mentioned in this ticket/bug report. (using a netgear 802.11b wireless router)
However, i dont have a iwl4965 file in my /etc/modprobe.d directory.
Is there another location where i can find it? I tried to do a locate on iwl4965. I found a iwl4965.ko file...but no iwl4965 file.
Since i could not find the required file..i created a iwl4965 file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory. I restarted the machine after that and my band meter test in firefox still shows me that my connection is way too slow.
PLease help! I REALLY LIKE USING ubuntu! However i am afraid that if i dont get my wireless to be fast enough...its a deal breaker.
