** Summary changed: - Intrepid Ibex RC: Belkin F5D6001 (rtl8180): Weak Signal + Intrepid Ibex: Belkin F5D6001 (rtl8180): Weak WLAN - Signal
** Description changed: - In the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Release Candidate (live disc), the wireless-lan card Belkin F5D6001 shows a very weak signal strength. + In the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Release Candidate as well as the yesterday released final version of Intrepid Ibex 8.10 (live disc), the wireless-lan card Belkin F5D6001 shows a very weak signal strength. While the card works only with the net8180 windows driver and ndiswrapper under Hardy Heron 8.04 with ~80% signal strength, the rtl8180 driver module in 8.10 will recognize the card properly but with a signal strength of only 5 to 10%. This seems to affect the connection speed of upload/download as well, so I guess it's not just a problem with the display of the signal strength. I see a similarity to the following reported bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/275230 If I can provide with further information, please feel free to let me know. + + Edit: I confirmed my problem with the final release version of Intrepid. ** Tags added: belkin f5d6001 performance rtl8180 wlan ** Attachment added: "lspci-vvnn.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19130359/lspci-vvnn.log ** Description changed: In the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Release Candidate as well as the yesterday released final version of Intrepid Ibex 8.10 (live disc), the wireless-lan card Belkin F5D6001 shows a very weak signal strength.
