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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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]  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.
