Don't forget to modprobe rtl8187 to see if it...

"new, much cleaner, rate control API "
That is in the new Kernel, 2.6.29
Basically this means (In theory) that all the problems with the wireless card will "disappear".

There is a way of...

Sorry to hear that.
Maybe try with the newest kernel? and compile it?

Try the Ubuntu 9.04 Beta, its stable (for me). See if it works then.
There is always a way to get it to work :) Just don't give up.

Hello dunnerz,

Hello all!


I'm in search of a new laptop.

This is what it MUST have:

12"/13" screen.
Nvidia Graphics Card
Looks sexy (A MUST)

It will not kill the Linux Desktop but it sure is nice tho.

I'm running the Windows 7 Beta 1 (Build 7000) now.

Post the outcome of compiz in the terminal. It will say the problems your having.

I've heard this before. I do not know why or how it does that. It is a bug in the Linux driver. I'm sure of it.

sudo apt-get install build-essential


Just a wondering thought, why do you want to upgrade your graphics driver?

Why do you have Firestarter installed?

Yes

Do this:

gksu gedit /etc/rc.local

Before the exit 0, put this:

iwconfig wlanX rate 5.5M fixed

Okay.
When you first connect to your router, open up a terminal and put in this:

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed

Does it give any errors back? If not, it worked. Now try surfing. Is it...

So, in your case, it would be:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Could be a driver issue.

EDIT: Its not wireless, is it xD


It should just work?
have you got the lastest kernel update on Ubuntu 8.04?
