@Kwinz:
Thanks for the very detailed analysis & solution.
For some reason it doesn't work here. I've followed the guidelines and downloaded from linuxwireless.org (compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 which contained compat-wireless-2010-10-23), 'make', 'sudo make unload' and 'sudo make install'. The disable-file in /etc/modprobe.d is removed.
I do have connection - but roughly 750KB/sec instead of the 2.5Mb/sec with the out-of-the-box driver in wireless g-mode. That's more than minor performance degredation...
iwconfig reports IEEE 802.11abgn - so that seems fine. Connection information reports a speed of 270Mb/s, so the thing *is* in wireless mode.
How do I debug & solve this? Apparently this seems to be solveable...
Installation is a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install on a Dell XPS M1530 with an Intel 5300 wireless card. Note that I did *not* install linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-22-generic, as was suggested earlier. Would that help?
I'm new (1 week...) with Ubuntu (Linux desktop in general) but reasonable experience with Debian Linux on a server.
