Having the same issue in Precise with Intel Corporation Centrino
Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34).

B/G are fine. N works really well at first then plummets in speed to
less than 1 Mb/s and becomes unusable. Rebooting the router causes it to
work again (really fast), then it plummets again.

Using the iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 is the only way I can work wirelessly
with my router.

Title:
  8086:4238 Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor networking, packet loss
  and very slow Lenovo X201 and T500 laptops

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric:

Status in “linux” source package in Precise:

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.
