Hi all. I just cannot figure this out. About two or three times a day, I will briefly loose an IRC connection, only to reconnect a second or two later. Also, web pages have a tendency to only partially render -- sometimes an F5 takes takes care of it, sometimes more than one. This is Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic.
This does not occur with any other computer in the house.
Firefox or Chrome, both behave badly. Adblock on or off. It's a laptop with wlan0 (Intel) and eth0 (RealTek), but changing interfaces doesn't seem to matter.
Some network functions appear to have no problem -- I stream somafm all the time, and never have an interruption there, nor do very long World Cup video streams. Just IRC and web. Maddening.
The kicker is, this computer dual boots. I'm not often booted to Windows 7, but when I am, I don't notice any of this web page partial rendering at all.
I am pretty decided that it's a network driver issue, and have stared at Wireshark captures, but don't see anything obvious there. Is there a comprehensive network driver troubleshooting guide for Ubuntu? I'm about ready to upgrade to 10.4 in a vain hope the problem will go away, but I can't find any reason to believe this.
