[Bug 416488] Re: poor wireless range on MSI Wind U123; updated drivers not default?

[mvolder]

I bought a MSI U123 because I read Ubuntu worked out of the box
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks). Well,
that's not entirely true, and this is driving me crazy (one other thing
that's not working in Ubuntu is scrolling using the touchpad, so I think
'works 100% out of the box is a wrong claim).

I don't know much about linux (I just *didn't* want to use Windows). I
tried every suggestion I could find (I found out it's a widespread
problem), including the one mentioned in this thread. Installing wicd
made connections more stable. More stable, but not stable enough to be
usable, unfortunately.

In XP everything works just fine - that's frustrating! The only stable
connections in Ubuntu seem to be those with unencrypted access points. I
don't know what a "full syslog" is or "wpa_supplicant.log". I just hope
someone's got a clever solution that can be included in the upcoming
Ubuntu version 9.10...
