I have a Samsung N210 and just installed Ubuntu. I'm new to Linux and I have some problems.
I'm using Linksys WRT110 Router. When I'm connected via ethernet cable everything's fine but when I unplug the cable and try to use wireless it's really problematic. The connection is unstable. I can use the internet for 5 minutes and then for a couple minutes it's gone and it comes back again and so on. But the thing is, it always shows that it's connected, but I can't connect to any websites. As I said, no problems with ethernet cable.
I made some research, installed Samsung-tools (and then came here to ask) and Realtek 8192E wireless driver for the latest kernel for Samsung netbooks with no luck. Also I uninstalled Network Manager and installed wicd, that didn't work either. What may be the problem?
Here is the output of the lspci command:

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.
P.S.: When I open System > About Ubuntu, it says "You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012." Why does it say 11.04? And April 2011, huh?
