Re: weird behaviour

[Manuel J Contreras Maya <manuel jose contreras maya gmail com>]

Dan,

I've updated the kernel but things seem to be the same. It connects but if I ping google.com or my router from a terminal in gnome is very slow but if do the same from a tty it works fine. Both cases attached:

More help is appreciated. I am happy to keep trying.

Manuel
