Είμαι νέο μέλος και άπειρος με το linux αλλά έχω την ίδια κάρτα δικτύου με εσένα και κατάφερα να την φτιάξω.
Ξεκινώ να γράφω την διαδικασία:
0. Άνοιξε τερματικό και γράψε:
- Κώδικας: Επιλογή όλων
sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
εγώ έγραψα 36 για να είναι πιο σταθερό το δίκτυο. Αυτό λύνει προσωρινά το θέμα τις ταχύτητας, αλλά στην επόμενη επανεκκίνηση θα πρέπει να το ξανα
γράψεις. Επωφελήσου για τις ενημερώσεις και πάμε στο επόμενο βήμα:

Θα μεταφράσω το υπόλοιπο αργότερα:
4. Reboot your system and use Wicd to connect to your wifi signal.
Open the Wicd Manager by double cliking the system tray icon. If you have no Wicd systray applet/icon, open the Wicd Network Manager from the your Application Menu or give the command wicd-client (use the -n switch if you are running a desktop without notification area) in terminal. Set your WPA or other encryption options under 'Advanced Settings' (1.5.9) or 'Properties' (1.6.x), right below the signal entry (in version 1.5.9 you need to unfold the entry pane by clicking the connection title). You can check 'Automatically connect to this network' if you like too.
Now that you have Wicd up and running and your connection is active -- although still painfully slow -- we can move to the actual fix...
Part II: "Speed it up!"
5. Add the speed-up script
The actual script we will be using below is
Code:
sh -c "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M"
NOTE 1: The last part of the speed-up script '11M' will force the connection speed to jump to 11Mb/s which is is just fine for me since it gives me a very stable connection (as opposed to the full 54MB which is also possible with my Wifi router) and my provider limits my bandwidth to 2Mb anyway. But if you absolutely need more speed, just experiment and pump it up to e.g. 36MB or 54MB if you like.
NOTE 2: If your wireless card is not set up to be available on wlan0 but for example on eth1, wmaster0 (thanks acutshall1) or ra0 (thanks hellion0), adapt the script accordingly.
Now you have two options here. If you use your wireless to connect to the same few wifi signals (or just one home signal) all the time, you can follow only the easy part 5. Home/Office but if you use your wireless for a large part for roaming (connecting to new signals often) you might want to (also) follow part 5. Roaming.
5. Home/Office.
Open Wicd Network Manager by clicking on the tray icon or via your Network menu. Then click Scripts (1.5.9, unfold the entry pane by clicking the connection title) or Properties > Scripts (1.6.x) right below your active connection and enter your user password. The Configure Scripts dialog comes up. Now enter in the script (above) in the Pre-connection Script field.
Hit OK to save.
Do this again for any secondary signal you normally connect to like your Office or the public wifi at you regular lunch place Depending on signal strength and connection stability, you can experiment with higher speeds for each signal.
NOTE: You might run into a little bug in Wicd after entering your password. If so, you will get a system warning about Wicd Manager not responding anymore. Ignore it and just hit Cancel to continue. The Scripts dialog window might be hidden behind the Wicd Manager window!
5. Roaming.
If you use your laptop for roaming and connect to new signals on a regular basis, you might want to make the speed-up script available for each new connection. After that, you can still use the Home/Office method if you want to tweak your regular wifi signals.
Create a new file by opening a terminal window and entering the command
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/wicd/scripts/preconnect/rt2500fix
NOTE: Adapt this to use kate for Kubuntu/KDE or mousepad for Xubuntu/XFCE instead of gedit.
This will bring up the text editor with a blank file. Now enter the script (above) as the only (!) content.
Hit 'Save' and close the editor.
Finally in terminal enter
Code:
sudo chmod a+x /etc/wicd/scripts/preconnect/rt2500fix
6. Disconnect and reconnect to make the script run and go and visit your favorite download or streaming website!
You should immediately notice you are back to browsing at normal speed... If not, read on.
Possible issues & Tips
TIP: faster connection time
For better performance in establishing a connection, get the latest stable version (read step 1.a) and select ioctl backend under Preferences > Advanced Settings.
I am unable to connect
If you cannot get Wicd to connect to any wifi signal, you might want to:
1. Check the content of /etc/network/interfaces. It should be nearly empty, only containing:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
If it doesn't, edit the file (and make a backup copy) with
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
(for Gnome, so adapt this command for your distro specifics: use mousepad in xubuntu, kate on Kubuntu instead of gedit)
2. Make sure Wicd is set up to manage the correct wireless interface. Open the Wicd Manager and hit 'Preferences'. Check if the field 'Wireless Interface:' shows the correct interface. Normally this would be wlan0 but on your system it might be set up differently like eth1, wmaster0 (thanks acutshall1) or ra0(thanks hellion0) for example .
There is no Wicd tray icon after login
Open Startup Applications (under System > Preferences menu, in Gnome at least) and see if there is an entry for Wicd. If so, make sure there is a check mark beside it or if the content is correct. If not, add a new entry with Name: Wicd and Command: wicd-client, then save and logout and back in again. If that does not do the trick, head over to the Wicd forum to get expert help on manually getting the systray applet up and running.
I can connect but still at turtle slow speed
First reboot the system and reconfirm. Then you might want to check if the script should be altered in any way to fit your system. Open the Wicd Manager and hit 'Preferences'. The field 'Wireless Interface:' shows your current (and apparently working) interface. Normally this would be wlan0 but if it is anything else like eth1 or ra0 (thanks hellion0) for example, please copy the content of the field and use that to replace the wlan0 part of the script.
If that still does not work, use the original code sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M (or adapted code to fit your system) in a terminal screen to find any errors. Report them in this forum thread...
All works well but signal strength is still not shown correctly
Place a check mark at the option 'Use dBm for displaying signal strength' under 'Preferences' (1.5.9) or 'Preferences Advanced Settings' (1.6.x) in the Wicd Manager.
I can connect to any open signal and speed fix works but cannot connect to encrypted signal
I found the only setting for WPA Supplicant-driver under Preferences in the Wicd Manager that works on my system is wext but you might try other options (like the ralink legacy driver) to see if that fixes the issue. Please head over to the Wicd forum on
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/punbb/ for expert help.
I get a system message: The window "Wicd Manager" does not respond
You might run into a little bug in Wicd, where after clicking the Scripts button, you get a warning like "The window Wicd Manager is unresponsive" with the options Cancel and Force close. Just choose Cancel to continue and ignore this warning.
NOTE: The Scripts dialog window might be hidden behind the Wicd Manager window!
Reverting to Network Manager
Wicd did not play for you? No problem. Just reinstall the Network Manager packages and your system is back to where you were before and search on for your slow connection problem.
For Ubuntu/Xubuntu users, Network Manager + the Gnome Front-end:
Code:
sudo apt-get install network-manager gnome-network-manager
For Kubuntu users, Network Manager + the KDE Front-end:
Code:
sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-kde
There is a good alternative method suggested by olejon involving ndiswrapper in this thread. Other ways to get around the slow connection issue can be found on these forums. Try
