Obviously, I never ment to imply for WICD to be a permanent, viable
solution to this issue. However, as for my concern .. this is my
workstation I use at home and at home. I cannot tinker with as much as I
would like to since I require its service each and every day. Thus, I
was looking for a quick and dirty workaround .. which I gathered, many
others were looking for as well. I would've loved to try out a couple of
other angles but I just don't have the time or the resources.

I realize this is in no way helping out with solving this bug for good.
Also, my girlfriend and I are eternally grateful to whoever solves this
mystery.

Do note: Fedora might be using a different NetworkManager version, a
different patchset or might have configured their release in a different
manner thus rendering the comparison between Ubuntu and Fedora a tiny
bit futile, in my opinion. I wouldn't be so hasty as to declare this bug
invalid for Ubuntu's NetworkManager.

Then again, I'm not exactly fit in terms of following release cycles
and/or development roadmaps and I presume you're the one with the
greater insight concerning exactly that matter.

  [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.
