Ok, so here's my final complete workaround for this issue in gutsy, thanks to all those who have contributed! Hopefully this hack will not be needed in Hardy.
1. Create a new script "bitratehack" in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ 2. Paste in the following: #!/bin/sh ACTION=$2 if [ "$ACTION" = "up" ]; then iwconfig eth1 rate 2M fi 3. sudo chmod 755 /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/bitratehack -- Broadcom bcm43xx Wireless driver regression in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124159 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
