Well, I had this wireless card for not long, at first it worked fine. Then after some time Ubuntu would lag online very bad. I messed with the frequency of the router, and it seemed to fix the problem. I use windows 7 on this computer as well, and internet gaming has gotten progressively worse. Now I try Ubuntu, and it can't even find the router anymore. Windows still can but it is extremely slow. I have my laptop right next to my computer and the internet works perfectly. I checked my packet loss, it says it is at 10% for this computer. So I am guessing, since my laptop wireless card works fine, both operating systems on this one computer have trouble connecting to the internet and the massive packet loss... that my brand new wireless card is a dud. Before I go out and buy another one can I get some insight from people here as to whether they think this is the problem?
