[Bug 788274] Re: throttled traffic/slow dns with ath5k (AR2413 wireless card) +WPA(2) with netgear wgr614

 

apport information

** Description changed:

  I have 3 PCs with different Ubuntu versions 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04.
  In all of these firefox 7, chromium, epiphany and konqueror are pretty fast, except on Narwhal when visiting some websites
  I noticed that on 11.04:
  0) never happened on the affected laptop before 11.04
  1) pages without js are rendered alright
  2) when js is disabled on firefox4 it seems to speed up some not all, though, e.g. it does for cnews.ru, but not for launchpad.net (which never loads)
  3) w3m-img,elinks,lynx are fast and load those pages in questions alright
  4)none of these problems exist on 10.04 or 10.10 with web browsers of the same versions
  5) it is an Ubuntu 11.04 only issue, does not happen on older version of Ubuntu
  6) does not seem to be an ipv4/ipv6 issue, since on firefox I set ipv6.disable to true
  On the affected machine (as well as on the others) I got a custom kernel installed.
