running ubuntu 12.10 usb wireless card is N300. Internet works fine when just surffing the web but once i start to download anything ie bitorrents and even updates the N300 stops working. I still have a connection on the top right hand side but no internet activity at all. First i thought maybe the card was junk so i went out to got a N600 still the samething. Then i tried with a windows laptop the connection was great even downloaded a movie 1gb in 12 minutes with no problem. Any ideas????
I wonder if there are any clues in the logs. Try to download a big file and trigger the behavior and then run and post:Code:cat /var/log/syslog | grep -e ndis -e wlan | tail -n20
danny@danny-CM1745:~$ cat /var/log/syslog | grep -e ndis -e wlan | tail -n20

Nothing of interest here. syslog periodically archives itself and starts a new file. Let's try again and check both the current and archived syslog. Try to download a big file and trigger the behavior and then run and post:Code:cat /var/log/syslog | grep -e ndis -e wlan | tail -n20
cat /var/log/syslog.1 | grep -e ndis -e wlan | tail -n20

I see two things, one not very suspicious and the other even less so.You might set Network Manager to ignore IPv6 and see if that has any effect. Please see attached.Quote:

Second, I see this:Do you have some different MTU set in Network Manager or elsewhere? In almost every case, the default works well.Quote:

IPv6 is set to ignore

Please check the timestamps. Those are the exact same messages as we saw before. After you made the changes, did you try a big download or do anything to trigger the behavior? Please try a reboot.Quote:

This is what did. Check setting as to post #6 settings correct, restart. Try to download to trigger the behavior got the behavior again. Then back to post #4 put in terminal got it as listed below

These are the same dates and timestamps as you posted in two previous posts. May we conclude that when you provoked the behavior again AFTER that, that there was no message at all in the logs?? None? :confused:
