[SLUG] Erratic wireless connection (sound footnote)

Hi all, I have 5.0.4 installed (dual boot with Windersninetyeight) on an old Compaq 7770DMT Armada. I have a D-Link DWL-650+ wireless card - picked up by Ubuntu 'out-of-the -box'. I've set everything to default (on the w'router) so there's no WEP etc. This is in my living room - the only pl
