Alright, I've become incredibly desperate. I've looked around alot and, this problem is serious enough that I'm about ready to go back to windows. I've been eye-ing my disk. The problem you ask?

Anytime the network load gets above a few kb/s, it crashes. I have to ifdown/ifup it in order to HOPEFULLY get it working again. I've tried EVERYTHING:
Removing nm-applet
Removing firestarter
Turing off IPV6
Trying Wicd
Asking at the offical ubuntu forums

I feel my problem there was I assumed too much and they didn't want to look at the thread because of the title, so I'll give just a little information. My brand is F5D6050, it runs on the at_76 drivers. It will randomly cut out, and a higher load seems to crash it (For instance, I can PARTIALLY keep it if I'm running JUST MSN on pidgin, but if I try to run pidgin and Firefox at the same time, it crashes.) My Ubuntu version is Feisty Fawn, and heres the information obtained with uname -a

Linux PenPen 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Here's my iwconfig:

I'm REALLY desperate to get this fix, if anyone has any questions, or advice, please help.

Is it possible that your router is a bit outdated? You could look for any firmware updates for your router...? Just a thought. Otherwise, I don't have any ideas but wireless adapters are very cheap. From what I saw on the net, that one seems to be plagues with problems. Whether or not those problems have been sorted out, I don't know.

I've been thinking that, but the problem is, I have no money to buy a wireless adapater. The computer itself is five or six years old. I've kept it going by substituting various parts from various computer. A Frankenstein if you will. I do appreciate the reply though.
