My apologies, but suggesting to use WICD isn't helping fixing any issues. Furthermore, it's doubtful it really fixes the issues by itself, let alone without introducing other issues (such as whether applications will notice they are online in this case).
Please, test with the mainline kernel as asked by Joseph Salisbury in comment #58. There's already been some amount of testing with the mainline kernel with good success (e.g. the connection is stable even when N isn't disabled). Reported bit rate by the driver is obviously not something that should be taken at face value since it changes constantly and is probably not all that accurate. Finally, since there has been testing with good results with a newer kernel, and similar good results on Fedora (which also uses NetworkManager), I think there is sufficient proof that this isn't an issue in NM; so I'll close the NM task as Invalid. @oledoe: please file a separate bug report for your issue. This bug report is specifically for Intel devices; as opposed to the Broadcom device you are using. You can use the "ubuntu-bug linux" command to help with filing a new bug report. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/836250 Title: [Oneiric] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor networking, packet loss and very slow Lenovo X201 and T500 laptops Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Status in “network-manager” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “network-manager” source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: This may be either network-manager or kernel, depending on triage... I have verified this on both a Lenovo X201 and a Lenovo T500 laptop. Both work perfectly with fully updated 10.10 and 11.04 versions of Ubuntu. However, booting into a fully updated 11.10 (as of 28/08/11) I get very poor wireless networking performance. Between 6-10% packet loss, very very slow connection and transfer rate. All in all, practically unusable. I have reported the bug on the X201 laptop, I will add the similar logs from the T500 also if required. As soon as I swap back to either 10.10 or 11.04 I get perfect wireless, it's only on 11.10 that I get problems, this would suggest it's not hardware or configuration on my side. I have had this since first installing 11.10 which was a little after Alpha 2. Wired connection is fine.
