Title:
Wireless performance issues on kernel 3.4.0-1-generic (iwlwifi)
Status in Linux:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I was expecting this to happen but was too lazy on reporting issues on
mainline kernels earlier. But now since the 3.4 kernels has made it to
quantal repos, I am affected by it.
The issue is that on 3.4 kernels (I have tried all mainline kernels
RC1 to RC5), my wireless performance goes for toss.
I am attaching a screenshot as well on current wireless signal. At
same location on my previous precise kernel ( 3.2.0.24) the
connection speed is around 52 mpbs (average), but on this kernel the
connection is very unstable. As I connect (or when system starts up),
the connection speed is like 40mbps, and this degrades in a minute or
so to 19 mbps, then to 6 mbps and eventually connection becomes
crazily slow on 1 mbps.
This is reproducible every time.
Hopefully, apport has collected enough information but I will try to
provide some more info as part of description.
