Weird Network problem -- It works TOO well
 

I just upgraded from F8 to F11 with the KDE desktop using the full edition. The wireless on my 3000 N100 laptop works even better then it does with M$ Vista. It found an encrypted network that was very faint that both F8 and M$ missed.

However, when I'm doing large downloads from the web or accessing my NAS drive locally, it kicks all of the other computers off of the internet and then I have to unplug the cable modem and Linksys router and plug them in again.

The NAS drive is connected to the rest of our network by a Wireless Ethernet Bridge & is therefore wireless itself.

Of course, I have to put in all the settings all over again. Only F11 does this. I think that since F11 is basically far faster then I would have thought Comcast would allow, I think that it may well be putting out so much bandwidth that it is crashing everything else.

Is there a way to slow it down by just a small amount? :)

Look through the settings on your router. I believe there should be an option to throttle speeds. I don't think this would cause the whole network to come down, though. So, I dunno.

This sounds weird - but I just installed Fedora 11 on my Gateway 4 yr old laptop and I can see (persistently) many more WAPs than i ever saw under WinXP or FC4 with same machine... odd

I have a spare Ethernet cable and the Wireless Ethernet bridge is right there. Therefore, I just plug it in. Like a lot of gaming bridges, it actually runs on half duplex. This probably slows it down just enough so that it plays nicely with others.
