I just finished installing 11.2 M8 and my internet connections are terribly slow when using Firefox and Konqueror. Could anyone give me some suggestions on how to fix this? I’m hooked up to a cable modem through a network cable. I already tried to disable “Ipv6” as I remember this fixed it on 11.1 but that didn’t help at all.
Thanks!
Did you disable globally or just in the browser?
I always do it globally and reboot.
I guess that I did it globally. I did it through Yast, then network settings.
Correct, that’s the way.
Is this the first M version you tried so far?
Check you hardware (network devices) against any reported bugs.
Yes, this is the first one that I’ve tried.

Check your network devices and drivers with the output from
/sbin/lspci -nnk
What specifically should I see with this command? I don’t see any reference to network.
Post the result here
Did you disable IPV6 in Firefox? You may want to try that too.

How do I go about doing that?
If you already disabled it globally it’s not necessary.
Well it appears that the setting in Yast to turn off ipv6 globally isn’t working correctly. Once I turned it off in Firefox everything is back to normal.
That would explain it for me as I’m running the 64bit. Think there’s any chance this will get fixed in the near future? I could be wrong but it also seems like Akregator is slower in fetching my feeds.
