>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.

>> Make sure your wifi interface is active - if it already is, then
