[Bug 875780] Re: Wireless Very Slow - Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965

 

I have a new wireless router now and that seems to have fixed the issue.
Maybe it was a compatibility issue with the old one? Strangely, a couple
of times using the old one it did jump up to normal speed for a while
but then went down again.

I'm happy to close this ticket as I can't provide any more info and
doesn't seem to have effected anyone else

Title:
  Wireless Very Slow - Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04, my wireless works perfectly. I installed a
  fresh version of 11.10 and the wireless connects, but the transfer
  rate is extremely slow, about 30Kbps (should be around 2Mbps). I
  reinstalled 3 times and no luck. When I connect to my mobile phone as
  a hotspot, I get fast speeds again so this is related to my wireless
  card/router. I have never posted a bug report before so please tell me
  what further info you require. I have a Dell XPS M1530, which is a
  popular Dell range so this must effect others.

  I believe my wireless card is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG
  or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection

  I saw these commands requested in other topics so thought they may be
  of help;
