Me three. Dell C620 with ipw3945, lots of packets dropped, note the "Invalid misc" and "RX dropped" in the information below. (Checks to see nobody is listening:) As things seem to be much better connecting to my neighbor's unprotected LAN (SpeedTouch ADSL with wireless, I think), I tried disabling WEP, but it doesn't help against my router (Billionton el- cheapo model).
There appears to be an abundance of people reporting similar problems, but the only "fix" I've seen so far is to replace the router and/or the wifi card. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=525300 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-506271.html http://osdir.com/ml/drivers.ipw3945.devel/2006-11/msg00025.html Here's the relevant output. It seems pretty clear that "invalid misc" wifi packets in turn become RX dropped packets on the eth1 interface (closely correlated numbers). The enourmous packet drop rate means that web pages load extremely slowly, and often fail entirey. Other computers work against this router, and mine work against others (at least better than this), so my guess is some sort of incompatibility. eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"TV4" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.467 GHz Access Point: 00:04:ED:01:34:18 Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Tx-Power:15 dBm Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=84/100 Signal level=-50 dBm Noise level=-51 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:128018 Missed beacon:0 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:D2:6C:82:10 inet addr:172.30.1.249 Bcast:172.30.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::219:d2ff:fe6c:8210/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11526 errors:3523 dropped:131870 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11301 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:264255001 (252.0 MiB) TX bytes:32472518 (30.9 MiB) Interrupt:17 Base address:0x4000 Memory:ecfff000-ecffffff -- ipw3945 Wifi connection is very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
