Totally hilarious.

Yes, I tried. But it seems that instruction doesn't work with the
network-manager 0.7 in ubuntu intrepid,
for NW just keep asking me for username and password, but I'm sure the
username and password are correct.

I also tried the command line method,
$ sudo wpa_supplicant  -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -B -Dwext
in this case, dmesg shows the following message repeat over and over:

wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0f:34:81:34:b0
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:0f:34:81:34:b0
wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:0f:34:81:34:b0 (capab=0x431 status=0
aid=124)
wlan0: associated
wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)
wlan0: deauthenticated

Any ideas? Thanks!

Might be true, though as far as I know, there is only 1 significant regression:
http://www.ioremap.net/node/42

I wouldn't speculate on the kernel, unless several other distros are
equally slowed down across the same period (7.04 to 8.10 is spanning a
period of almost one and a half year, and I don't think the kernel
keeps slowing down over a year and a half without a lot of complaints
and blog posts.

Additionally some of the regressions don't seem kernel-related.
There's so far no noticable performance regression in gcc camp. Some
internal tests shown speed up instead. Though as C++0x gets
implemented (and used by developers) g++ performance _will_ go down.

At the end, it might come down to the fact that Ubuntu uses a lot of
very recent versions of packages. While they give advantages of having
more features, they are not tested that extensively compared to the
older version (plus, in Debian at least, patches that fix bugs and
regressions are applied to stable).

Luckily, (I hope) this won't affect most users with fast machines.

Yeah, seen that article too.
I wonder which are the components that are slowing the performance in
those areas down.
Probably kernel related? I heard they have been making quite a bit of
changes to the kernel lately.

Some great news for Ubuntu lovers out there. =)

Without much fanfare, developers of Ubuntu Linux have delivered the
latest version of the open source operating system that scores higher
than Windows Vista in performance testing, does a better job than
Windows in making wireless connectivity easy and, overall, leaves
fewer reasons to stick with Windows than any other previous release of
Linux.

Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition, nicknamed "Intrepid Ibex," provides so
much functionality and ease of use, at zero cost of acquisition, that
it is really impossible to ignore. For anyone or any business not tied
toMicrosoft (NSDQ: MSFT) legacy desktop applications, Ubuntu 8.10 may
realistically be considered a smarter choice in many scenarios.

During initial evaluation in the Test Center lab, Ubuntu 8.10 scored
big in both performance testing and in wireless integration - - areas
where Linux has had some trouble in the past.

Dear all,

After upgrade from ubuntu hardy to intrepid, I cannot connect to NUS
PEAP network (SSID:NUS) anymore, while NUSOPEN remains working. I
found several similar problems in ubuntuforums.org, for example,
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5973851 ; but found no
solution so far. Do you meet similar problem? Any ideas? Thanks!

The latest benchmarks by Phoronix Test Suite shows that on the whole,
Ubuntu seems to be underperforming as the version number goes upwards
from 7.04 to 8.10.  Check out the detailed benchmarks in the following
