Wireless half of what it was in Intrepid.

[missbliss]

Ever since I installed Jaunty My connection has been about half of what it was in Intrepid, which was operating at 100%.

I know there are some easy ways to troubleshoot this, but I can't remember hwo and wasn't finding it on a search.

Suggestions?

*edit* I also have a really hard time connecting to youtube vids and am unable to connect to last.fm right now which I am assuming can be attributed to the low connection, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Um, yeah, beyond the rant we would actually need some networking information like card, driver, etc to provide some useful assistance.

Well, it's a start. It's number 1 on a list of 10 helpfully linked to from a sticky at the head of this subforum.

What driver are you using with the 242x module -- patched madwifi or ath5k or other?
