When I use my Wifi to connect to the internet its like using a 56k modem well it also keeps on disconcerting why is this? I'm using a wired connection right now. But it says that the wireless driver is restricted even though I have enabled it and restarted. The type of wifi card driver is a Broadcom STA Wireless driver.

noah@noah-laptop:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54Mbs/s
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
 
Is this good bad?

Try to disable IPv6:
 
Open Terminal. Type in:

 
Copy and paste this into the Text Editor window:

 
(If you have other lines in the text file before pasting, make sure to comment them out.. E.g.:
alias thisisanexample to #alias thisisanexample)
 
Save.
Reboot.
 
(If internet is not working after this, delete the three lines above)

Ok I put in the sudo code and in the text box I have lots of text:
 
# These are the standard aliases for devices and kernel drivers.
# This file does not need to be modified.
#
# Please file a bug against module-init-tools if a package needs a entry
# in this file.

Your Toast Has Been Burnt, and No Amount Of Scraping Will Remove The Black Parts!

This should work better.. Ignore last one and do this: http://benperove.com/howto/disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-804/

I don't get it though open apend? and enter /etc/modprobe.d/blacklis This makes no sense....
Blahh Im such a linux noob haha

---------------

Your Toast Has Been Burnt, and No Amount Of Scraping Will Remove The Black Parts!

You need to do

ok This is what I got.....
# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.
 
# evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly
blacklist evbug
 
# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd
 
# replaced by e100
blacklist eepro100
 
# replaced by tulip
blacklist de4x5
 
# causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
blacklist eth1394
 
# snd_intel8x0m can interfere with snd_intel8x0, doesn't seem to support much
# hardware on its own (Ubuntu bug #2011, #6810)

blacklist garmin_gps
 
# replaced by asus-laptop (Ubuntu: #184721)
blacklist asus_acpi
 
 
 
 
I enterd the # disable ipv6
blacklist ipv6
and it said that  
noah@noah-laptop:~$ blacklist ipv6
bash: blacklist: command not found

---------------

Your Toast Has Been Burnt, and No Amount Of Scraping Will Remove The Black Parts!

You need to insert the blacklist things into the text file..
 
 
So it should be like:
# This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.
 
# evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly
blacklist evbug
 
# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd
 
# replaced by e100
blacklist eepro100
 
# replaced by tulip
blacklist de4x5
 
# causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
blacklist eth1394
 
# snd_intel8x0m can interfere with snd_intel8x0, doesn't seem to support much
# hardware on its own (Ubuntu bug #2011, #6810)
blacklist snd_intel8x0m
 
# causes failure to suspend on HP compaq nc6000 (Ubuntu: #10306)
blacklist i2c_i801
 
# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54
 
# replaced by b43 and ssb.
blacklist bcm43xx
 
# most apps now use garmin usb driver directly (Ubuntu: #114565)
blacklist garmin_gps
 
# replaced by asus-laptop (Ubuntu: #184721)
blacklist asus_acpi
 
# disable ipv6
blacklist ipv6
 
Then save the file
