@avejidah, I installed the backports-network package on Oneiric, rebooted, and could no longer connect at all. I uninstalled it and now I can connect, again, but I am still having the extreme slowdowns. I am glad I also have wireless.
Also, I have powered down and disconnected the PC from AC power, but in my case, that did not help, either. Maybe our problems are different. My ethernet connection stays up, but it varies from full speed to extremely slow (800 bps or worse) every few seconds, then back to full speed, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998200 Title: wrong driver for wifi RTL8111/8168B To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/998200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
