[ydl-gen] Problems surfing the web with ydl 6.1 on a ps3 with an ADSL modem/router (wi-fi)

[angelo_da_re]

I now can connect perfectly via the wlan0 interface.
But, when it comes to surfing the web, I have the following problem:
Speed of connection quickly decreases, until the broser completely halts.
I have the same problem with Firefox and the KDE browser.
When i do something different, such as Package Update, I have no problems.
I also can send and receive E-mails without any problem whatsoever.
SElinux is disabled, and the firewall rules are set to consider safe the 
contents of www.
I really don't why this problem arises, so if someone could be of help it 
would be greatly apppreciated.
Thanks in advance.
