Wireless with WEP extremely slow on an Acer Timeline 4810T with a Centrino Wireless-N 1000
- by noq38
I've upgraded an Acer Timeline 4810T to Ubuntu 11.10. Everything works fine except for the darn wireless interface (network manager).
I just tested the wireless interface over a non-encrypted signal and it works beautifully. The issue is definitely related to WEP.
Unfortunately, some of the networks I need to connect to are WEP encrypted, therefore this is a serious issue for me that is preventing me from using Ubuntu on my laptop.
This was no problem in 11.04 and prior. Is there a simple solution for this?
Any suggestions?
Here's more hardware information. Hopefully this helps to debug the network issue:
