I forgot to update this one but I did indeed install the newest build at the time (the saucy one) and not long after rebooting with it I found that wireless was quite slow, although probably not as extremely and consistently slow as it was when I originally filed this bug. I soon reverted back to the official kernel and disabled wireless N again. I haven't tested an upstream or testing kernel though since then.

Every few minutes it stops working completely, I disable wireless by hardware switch and reenable, it works (albeit very slowly) for a few minutes, then gradually deteriorates, loading half web pages or just giving me a blank page saying the site is not found. WORKAROUND: Disable wireless "n" in iwlwifi.
