I am facing this same issue of high packet loss in my Lenovo T430s. I am getting a packet loss of 30~50% which is absurd.

I've seen this issue since trusty, very bad packet loss,varrying in ping from 10%-45% to Verizon MI424WR- GEN3I AP with WPA2 running in Compatibility Mode(802.11b/g/n). No other devices on network have ever had this issue, in fact any loss of ICMP packets almost never occurs on other devices from same location. Already tried mainline (3.18.0) with no noticeable improvement. I will be trying the Realtek (from their website) - didn't work, not for this kernel. https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver - didn't help.
