I upgraded to the latest stable release of the 3.0.x series kernel,
3.0.10. For testing I removed the line "options wlagn 11n_disable=1"
from options.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ and reboot into the new kernel.
This problem still persists in the latest 3.0.x series kernel. I re-
added the options for the wlagn driver in options.conf and reboot back
into the 3.0.10 kernel, and connectivity went back to normal.

Connection is stable on the 3.0.x series kernel with 11n_disable=1 and
stays stable. However, with the 3.1.x series kernel with 11n_disable=1,
the connection is stable for only a few minutes at a time, which then it
drops the connection all together.

Either series kernel without 11n_disable=1 results in a completely
unstable and unusable wireless connection.

  [Oneiric] [Regression] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor

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.
