Title:
  Wireless performance issues on kernel 3.4.0-1-generic (iwlwifi)

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

Bug description:
  I was expecting this to happen but was too lazy on reporting issues on
  mainline kernels earlier. But now since the 3.4 kernels has made it to
  quantal repos, I am affected by it.

  The issue is that on 3.4 kernels (I have tried all mainline kernels
  RC1 to RC5), my wireless performance goes for toss.

  I am attaching a screenshot as well on current wireless signal. At
  same location on my previous precise kernel  ( 3.2.0.24) the
  connection speed is around 52 mpbs (average), but on this kernel the
  connection is very unstable. As I connect (or when system starts up),
  the connection speed is like 40mbps, and this degrades in a minute or
  so to 19 mbps, then to 6 mbps and eventually connection becomes
  crazily slow on 1 mbps.

  This is reproducible every time.

  Hopefully, apport has collected enough information but I will try to
  provide some more info as part of description.

  
  $ lspci -v

  Let me know what information I can provide to get help resolve this
  blocking issue, which wont let me try/test kernel 3.4 further.
