I have 8 to 10 laptops I manage at any one time all with linux with various wireless chipsets. I will say that I am very disappointed overall what the wireless state of things with Ubuntu. Started to look at other distros. GnomeMepis sounded pretty good built on Debian Lenny. Seems like the opposite is the case with wireless modems like 3G networks, etc. They have spent a lot of time on these, but seemed to miss the boat on how most of us connect most of the time. I don't understand why Ubuntu patches the kernel on these things instead of leaving it alone an ruining it. Surely they are in tune with how popular laptops/netbooks have become. On my new, new very late model Aspire one with wireless N with an atheros chipset, I only get one bar. 3 bars with Windows, and it will fail from time to time. Sometimes a reset fixes it, sometimes it need a reboot similar to this problem. Completely different chipset but the same type of frustration.
I want to stick with Ubuntu, but it may be on some machines I will be forced to look elsewhere. We may have to "vote" with our distro choice, but I'm not sure really how much of an impact this will make. I'm thinking about trying Moblin on this particular netbook with the atheros chipset. Kind Regards to you and even Ubuntu despite their lack of interest in this thread.
