Hello Jayjwa, Would you be so kind as to Internet connect with the http://vouters.dyndns.org:8080/Intel/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_2008_08_13.tar.bz2 driver under either a 2.6.25 or a 2.6.26 kernel and tell me the browser download performances compared to the previous driver version browser download performances ? Once you have downloaded this .tar.bz2 file, you must $ tar -jxvf intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_2008_08_13.tar.bz2 $ cd intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/ $ make 536 from a root account: $ cd /path/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0/ $ make uninstall $ make install You may check there is no 536EP driver problem on your side using $ dmesg By the way, what does tell on your side the following two commands: $ uname -a $ gcc -v ???
