I just pulled this out of Ubuntu, it looks promising.

Hopefully it will lead someone knowledgeable to an idea…


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ iwconfig

It looks like you are using the realtek drivers, which I have no experience with.

Problem 1 sounds like you have a DNS problem. You can access just your name service using

nslookup www.someWebSite.com
. If this takes a long time, try changing you name server.
OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

My understanding is that Chrome does a good job of caching to speed up things like name requests.
