Bug description:
As reported by  ad4m, it's possible to fix this with
sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M



In order to enable this behavior automatically you can tech the system to do it by istelf.
Open up a terminal, copy & paste this code:
    cd /etc/init.d
    sudo gedit slower_wifi.sh
Press enter, then type your sudo password.
Copy & paste this code at the bottom in gedit...
    iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M
and save.
Now let's make it executable
    sudo chmod +x slower_wifi.sh
And now we make the script executed every boot
    sudo update-rc.d slower_wifi.sh defaults



What we have to investigate is whether this just applies for all or some netbooks - if some, then which?
