[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Yesterday I made a test.

- 3 recent 13.3" notebook.

1 with Win 7 installed 1 with Mac OS X and 1 with Ubuntu 10.04 and Kernel Linux
2.6.32-24 generic (DE Gnome with network manager installed)

All notebooks have last updates and stable drivers releases.

- All notebooks had a Intel Wifi 5300 device

- 2 Modem wireless (open, no WEP no WPA) Linksys WAG320N at 5 meters and at
15-20 meters.


The first two notebook saw both the modems (the secondo with a signal power of
50-60%) while my notebook with ubuntu saw only the first modem at 5 meters.

Is it a driver/kernel bug or what else?

Thanks in advance for your attention.
