SignedAdam, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via: ubuntu-bug linux

Basically I kept gettng the "Waiting for <insert site here>..." status on whatever browser I used. Pages would load after a really long time, or sometimes not at all. My laptop uses the AR2413 chipset, which utilizes the ath5k wireless module. We were able to find that loading the module with the nohwcrypt parameter fixed my problem: sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt psyke83 from the forums showed me how to automatically load the ath5k module with the said parameter on reboot. sudo sh -c "echo 'options ath5k nohwcrypt' >/etc/modprobe.d/custom- wireless.conf" Hopefully this information can help others with similar hardware. Whether this should be a default for Lucid, I am not sure because I don't know if it affects everyone the same. The thread is pasted below for full details of everything I tried to find the solution. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1441818 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/568090/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
