My Friends laptop is having issues....
Using 8.10, have previously applied the
iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed
to /etc/rc.local and it did the job. However, on the 2.6.27-11 kernel that fix has no affect, and it won't connection to the net after random time between 5 and 20 mins (although network manager says connected with no problems) - only rebooting machine fixes it
Working fine on the 2.6.27-9 and -7 kernels, so having to boot on the -9 all the time. Obviously a worry as my friend is quite new to Ubuntu/linux, so having to explain why is quite a tough ask (trying to alter grub to pick a different default) - worry that 9.04 will manifest this problem as well.
Any body have any ideas...?
