["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vikrant, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine 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:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

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

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.
