Okay a bit more information. I did a speed test online and the results were almost identical despite having 2 bars in Kubuntu and 4 in Ubuntu (I actually had slightly faster results in Kubuntu)
Here is the output of lshw *-network description: Network controller product: BCM4312 802.11a/b/g vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:0c:00.0 version: 01 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=0 module=ssb So it looks to me like it's just a visual thing with knetworkmanager. Would you agree? If this is the case it's such a minor thing that I'm not even sure if it's worth marking as a bug. -- KDE 4.2 wireless speed vs. Gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326048 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
