description |
I have a Realtek RTL8187 wireless chipset on my Asus P5K Premium motherboard. Under Gutsy and Hardy 32-bit this chip performed relatively fine (occasional dropouts that are a known bug). Signal strength was showing as between 60 and 70%.
I just did a clean install of Intrepid 64-bit, and the wireless is now showing just 14% strength in Network Manager. In addition, now when downloading larger files, it will be downloading at the full speed of my ADSL (51 kilobytes per second) and then just drop to 3-8 kilobytes per second for a while. This occurs with the shipping kernel as well as 2.6.27-7-generic that was an available upgrade.
Web pages can also be slow to load and sometimes just not load at all. Turning off IPv6 has helped, but they are still slow. The connection appears to be prone to dropping out and requiring Network Manager to reconnect.
On my only other wireless-enabled device, my Nintendo Wii, performance is exactly as I'd expect. The router is set to G-only, so I know the driver can't possibly be working on a or b wireless. |
