I've been having problems with my USB wireless driver. It's a TL-WN727N. Since upgrading to 11.10 my connections have been slow to non-existent. I thought that maybe the drivers were not installed so I followed the steps on this page <link> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...ce/Tenda_W311M </link>. When I save rt5370sta to /etc/modules/ I get full bars on my indicator, activity monitor shows some network movement. But, I cannot open a webpage and the system seems to slow down. For example, I opened terminal and it was hesitant coming up. Not the window but the line to input a command and apt-get update took 15 min to get to 24%. So I deleted the module rt5370sta from /etc/modules so I can have some internet access.
I am new to Ubuntu and just trying to get my internet to its fullest wireless potential. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
