Unfortunately, the broadband connection is shared with others, so I'm
forbidden from fiddling with the router (it was a nightmare getting it
set up originally)!

Although I'm not 100% sure, I'm inclined to think the problem is
probably to do with Gutsy. I'm currently dual-booting Kubuntu Feisty and
Gutsy on the same laptop, using the same Belkin wireless card
(F5D7010uk, v6, using the Ralink RT61 chipset) which I got running in
both installs using the exact same Windows drivers with ndiswrapper. My
Feisty install works absolutely fine, it's only the Gutsy one which has
this problem. However, as I mentioned, I had the exact same issue with
Edgy when using an Ethernet connection (wasn't able to get the wireless
connection working with this at all as we use WPA and I had no way of
installing Network Manager).
I have also briefly tried the AMD64 version of Kubuntu Gutsy on my other
laptop (a Philips X58), and that worked fine using the same router, but
that was by doing a network upgrade from Feisty.
Would using OpenDNS make a difference if it worked fine in Feisty using
the exact same router?
