What do you mean firmware? You mean they are fixing their driver? If it was a firmware issue, then it would mean that to get a fix you would need to buy a new network card/new laptop with updated chipset firmware to get the fix. It's obviously not a firmware issue, as wireless N works flawlessly on Windows with the same chipset. But it is a bit of a bummer that we have to put up with disabled wireless n. In fact, by doing that, it's making it worse for Ubuntu users, because I did at least have working wireless N in Ubuntu 10.04, and yeah, it could degrade, but it was intermittent and to be honest I didn't really notice that much. Now when I get an enforced disable from Canonical, I *do* notice that speeds are slower cause im only running G. Wouldn't it have been better to give us the choice, simply by doing nothing and just publishing in the 10.10 release notes that there was a driver issue and Intel werre working on it? What is the argument for actively disabling 802.11n? I could have quite happily re-configured my router and laptop so that I only connected to wireless G if I was that bothered about the N degrading. -- iwlagn degrades quickly during normal wifi session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/630748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
