Yeah I know full of questions.
Basically I set aside 30 gigs
for ubuntu and so far so good. I was just wondering if
there is some other
software for the wireless internet. At my campus we have
one of the largest
wifi areas of the state (doesn't mean its the fastest
just that it's
widespread). I can get online with windows with no problem.
With ubuntu it
doesn't seem to be that simple. There's a cisco
program that is being used that
has support for windows (xp/vista), apple (macs) and
iphones. I just get the
feeling on this one it isn't so much the hardware but
the software. It's a
Intel pro/wireless 3945abg network. Within windows it has
some more advanced
settings with power and range. Wired internet is no problem
at all it's not
even a few seconds its that fast. Here's some of what
the settings seem to be.


WPA2 authorization

EAS encryption

Protected type EAP-mschave 2 I just
think something is a bit up given the the differences in
performance and yet there's no difference in hardware.

Assuming your using Network Manager; have you tried wicd ipo NM. Works better for me on my wifi maching, Hardy. I'm using default NM on my wired machine, Karmic Beta. You can try wicd by just installing it which will remove NM. If doesn't work, revert back. I would reboot after installing wicd if it doesn't recognize your wifi. Many people use wicd because of issues with NM although the latest release seems to be better. Not sure about the wifi part, though. H TH,
