Public bug reported:

My Intel wireless card is significantly slower in Ubuntu than it is in
Windows 7.

According to iperf (with the laptop a couple of feet from the router and the server plugged into it):
== Ubuntu 15.04 ==
[  4] local 192.168.0.102 port 5001 connected with 192.168.0.3 port 43672

Transfer rates for previous Ubuntu releases are about the same:

I have attached the output of Wireless Script, which should give all the
necessary details about my setup. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
