This problem is not fixed on my computer, unfortunately. I'm a first time poster here - been watching this bug for a long time. It appeared to be fixed for a day or two, but I still have the long delays on page requests. Also, I've tried downloading large files via firefox and I've also been experiencing delays in the start of the downloads, as well as long interruptions. Watching this on the system monitor confirms, when this bug acts up, there is zero incoming transmissions via wireless. The only work around I've been able to get to work is to open a new window in firefox, and hit stop + refresh until it 'unlocks' itself and the incoming transmissions restart.

Also, I don't seem to have the "eglibc" package installed on my version of Karmic (Desktop, 64 bit). Is this embedded in another package? I've found "eglibc-source" in the repos - am I supposed to install this?

Sorry for the questions, but this has been a most frustrating bug and I'd like to see some resolution. Thanks for all your hard work folks!
