Anyone with hair to spare - mine's all been pulled out
I hope someone can help me deal with this.
I have consecutively installed Mint, Fedora and ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite C650.
The wireless connection created by Fedora is VERY fast ... and those of Mint and ubuntu are like molasses in February (connected - as in data is received - but measured in BYTES/sec).
I hope this "makes sense" to someone, for it sure doesn't to me.
I do NOT want to use Fedora ... but how can I overcome this "issue" and use one of the other distributions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try disabling power management for the wireless card:

Well maybe I REALLY don't know what I'm doing but "iwconfig" does not produce any output that I can see (this is in ubuntu 12.04).
So I continue to be stuck ...

I want to make sure that I understand this correctly....when in the terminal and you run ....you are not getting any information in the CLI?

Well I was saying that, yes. But in error.
Doing it again - properly this time I guess - revealed:
Power Management: Off.
In addition, in the hope that it'll help solve this problem/mystery, it reported:
Mode: Managed
Frequency: 2.412
Bit rate = 65 Mb/s
Tx-Power = 15 dBm
Link quality = 69/70
Signal Level = -41 dBm and some more stuff of 0 errors.
Look forward VERY MUCH to a diagnosis and remedy.
TIA

What wireless chipset is it? Please provide a hardware list in this fashion:

Evidently it is:
AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
Vendor Atheros
I'm afraid I didn't understand your reference to how to detail it. Hopefully the above will suffice.
Thanks for taking this on.

Just for future reference: you can generate a shorter lshw output by restricting it to the class of hardware you are interested in. You use the option -C . The man page says capital C, but lower case works too.
Do
to look at the man page.
In this instance, you would do
Code:
sudo lshw -c network
To post that sort of output here, use the # button at the top of the post window to generate code tags, and paste the output between them. If it is a lot of text, the code box will have a scroll bar at the side.

Did so. And it works perfectly!!! Genius.
Thanks so much.
Also thanks to audiomick for the tips. I'll endeavour to keep them in mind.
