[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu.tl@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.

  [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.
