Hi!

I was using Ubuntu 8.10 on my Asus X80L laptop.
After upgrade I met some stranges with wifi:
1) It looks for the network for a very long time - much more than before.
2) It doesn't work well with it. It means it works well for 70 seconds then 30 seconds net doesn't work, then it works 70 secs again and so on. It's very strange, but I see it clearly with ping and other programs.

I tried to load with previouse kernel 2.6.27-11-generic #42-Ubuntu. Wifi works but video driverls not ok. Xorg eats all process time.

I like ubuntu but this feature doesn't let work with it. Is it possible to solve the problem?
