Is this on wifi or cat5? Ethernet. I know enough to not do speedtest on WiFi.
Really? I do speed tests all the time on WIFI as well as Cat5. Does your nic require microcode? (Binary Blob). Usually its only the late model nics that do, although my 7 year old wifi didn't work until I installed the microcode package.
WiFi is one more variable that can affect results. It may often be fine, but also often not. With Internet bandwidth approaching or even exceeding WiFi bandwidth, it can become a limiting factor, that wired Ethernet doesn't have (yet). I bought the ThinkPad 5 years ago and the mom board about 2. I've never needed a binary blob in either before. However, further testing indicates it's a Firefox issue, as Chromium runs fine with speedtest. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
