Comment 98 for bug 124159

so how about someone write up an easy HOWTO for noobs, explaining how to set the rate to 5.5M permanently across reboots?

I'm also skeptical that this is fixed in hardy, since there has been some confusion in this post with another bug about not being able to connect to routers, which is unrelated to the original bug for which I opened this issue.

Not willing to upgrade (my non-technical friend's PC) to hardy just to test however.
