[Bug 1450755] Re: Intel Wireless-N 2230 4x faster in Windows 7 than 15.04 (iwlwifi)

 

Aaron Whitehouse, could you please test the latest upstream kernel
available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will
allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

** Tags removed: bios-outdated-a13
** Tags added: latest-bios-a13

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  Intel Wireless-N 2230 4x faster in Windows 7 than 15.04 (iwlwifi)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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

  == Windows 7 ===

  [  4]  0.0-10.1 sec  98.4 MBytes  82.0 Mbits/sec

  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.
