wireless problem

[hvacr]

I have a new Pangolin Performance, which I have had for a few weeks. I have been running in ubuntu until last night, when I booted into vista. I checked my wireless connection speed and found I am only connecting at G, 54m. I checked all settings on the router and all are ok. I booted into ubuntu and ran iwconfig and got this.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:70:F3:1D:24
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Power Management:off
Link Quality=100/100 Signal level=-34 dBm Noise level=-92 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0


If I set my router to transmit on N only, the laptop does not see the wireless network, ( windows and ubuntu)

I will have to purchase a new router tonight to check if that is the cause, somehow I doubt it though. As I said all settings in the router are correct. I am using a Linksys wrt300n router.

I have even moved the laptop into the same room as the router, same results.

We're doing some testing on this end, but if you can't see your connection in Ubuntu and Windows in n-only mode, it's probably your router.

Plus, we CAN *see* the "n" A.P. when the router is set to n-only mode. I'm not sure yet if they've connected to it. I'll follow up as the info flows in.

New router, and I am a happy camper, full speed ahead on N. Thanks

After some testing, in vista I am connecting at 130m. I ubuntu only 54m

iwconfig shows

How does one get Ubuntu to use channel N

Just did a fresh install of ubuntu with the system 76 drivers, and Ubuntu will only work at 54M, windows is at 130M This seems to be a Ubuntu problem.


One more test result. I have set the router to N only, widows vista connects, Ubuntu will not. Driver issue?

OK. Thanks.

We will test this evening, and I'll report back tomorrow.

Here's the news:

It's a bug in Ubuntu, and it looks like the fix has been committed but not released.

It also looks like it is available for testing.

Thanks very much, I will look into this latter on and give it a try.
