Got to do with Ubuntu because I have a dualboot XP and the torrents
fly! In fact, wifi performs like makkhan in XP.

No more "firmware" for me!! I'm still in post-trauma blues after setting
up b43-fwcutter.

I never use the in-built switch.It just seems quite silly to have it in the
first place.

As I said, everything works fine in XP, except that it is Windows. And
the other computers (two more in my family) haven't yet reported of
similar problems.

I have been avoiding the updates actually, perhaps that might be the
problem. I just hate loading more MBs on an otherwise light comp.
