[DDC <coquet@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 (8086:0084) in a
Thinkpad x220.  In 11.04, I had good performance once I added "options
iwlagn 11n_disable=1".   With 11.10 i'm using the same configuration.
The connection is stable, but the performance is noticeably worse.

For example, I'm currently scping a file to another host on the network
at 1.2MB/s.  Trying to do anything else at the same time is pretty
painful.

Title:
  [Oneiric] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor networking,

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.
