2012-07-23 22:23:55 penalvch description The iwconfig command shows that my bit rate on wlan0 consistently and incorrectly defaults to 1Mb/s upon establishing a wireless connection. I seem to be able to workaround this problem using "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" at the command line each and every time a wireless connection is established. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, on a Dell Inspiron 1100, with a Linksys, Instant Wireless, Wireless-B Notebook Adapter, Model No. WPC11 ver.4, PCMCIA card. This is an 802.11b capable card / adapter, and the the bit rate should default to 11Mb/s. lspci reports the wireless card / adapter as follows: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20) iwconfig shows the following before issuing the "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" command: wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"tachowicz" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:70:45:F9:76 Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=85/100 Signal level=85/100 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 iwconfig shows shows the following after issuing the "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" command: wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"tachowicz" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:70:45:F9:76 Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=89/100 Signal level=89/100 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Both link quality and signal level appear continuously swing pretty widely. For the purpose of troubleshooting, I unchecked "Enable Wireless" in the NetworkManager Applet and removed the card / adapter from the laptop. Upon reinsertion of the card / adapter into the laptop, the following log entries appear: daemon.log: Feb 8 20:35:29 inspiron1100 NetworkManager: <info> Found radio killswitch rfkill1 (at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:03:00.0/ieee80211/phy1/rfkill1) (driver <unknown>) Feb 8 20:35:29 inspiron1100 NetworkManager: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:03:00.0/net/wlan0, iface: wlan0) Feb 8 20:35:29 inspiron1100 NetworkManager: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:03:00.0/net/wlan0, iface: wlan0): no ifupdown configuration found.

I seem to be able to workaround this problem using "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" at the command line each and every time a wireless connection is established. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, on a Dell Inspiron 1100, with a Linksys, Instant Wireless, Wireless-B Notebook Adapter, Model No. WPC11 ver.4, PCMCIA card. This is an 802.11b capable card / adapter, and the the bit rate should default to 11Mb/s. lspci reports the wireless card / adapter as follows: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

2012-07-23 22:26:07 penalvch description The iwconfig command shows that my bit rate on wlan0 consistently and incorrectly defaults to 1Mb/s upon establishing a wireless connection. I seem to be able to workaround this problem using "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" at the command line each and every time a wireless connection is established. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, on a Dell Inspiron 1100, with a Linksys, Instant Wireless, Wireless-B Notebook Adapter, Model No. WPC11 ver.4, PCMCIA card. This is an 802.11b capable card / adapter, and the the bit rate should default to 11Mb/s. lspci reports the wireless card / adapter as follows: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20) iwconfig shows the following before issuing the "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" command: wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"tachowicz"           Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:70:45:F9:76           Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm           Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off           Power Management:off           Link Quality=85/100 Signal level=85/100           Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0           Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 iwconfig shows shows the following after issuing the "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" command: wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"tachowicz"           Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:70:45:F9:76           Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm           Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off           Power Management:off           Link Quality=89/100 Signal level=89/100           Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0           Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Both link quality and signal level appear continuously swing pretty widely. For the purpose of troubleshooting, I unchecked "Enable Wireless" in the NetworkManager Applet and removed the card / adapter from the laptop. Upon reinsertion of the card / adapter into the laptop, the following log entries appear: daemon.log: Feb 8 20:35:29 inspiron1100 NetworkManager: <info> Found radio killswitch rfkill1 (at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:03:00.0/ieee80211/phy1/rfkill1) (driver <unknown>) Feb 8 20:35:29 inspiron1100 NetworkManager: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:03:00.0/net/wlan0, iface: wlan0) Feb 8 20:35:29 inspiron1100 NetworkManager: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:03:00.0/net/wlan0, iface: wlan0): no ifupdown configuration found.

I seem to be able to workaround this problem using "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11Mb/s" at the command line each and every time a wireless connection is established. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, on a Dell Inspiron 1100, with a Linksys, Instant Wireless, Wireless-B Notebook Adapter, Model No. WPC11 ver.4, PCMCIA card. This is an 802.11b capable card / adapter, and the the bit rate should default to 11Mb/s. lspci reports the wireless card / adapter as follows: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

For the purpose of troubleshooting, I unchecked "Enable Wireless" in the NetworkManager Applet and removed the card / adapter from the laptop.
