Dvanzo, thank you for the requested information. Following up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1002884/comments/30 :
>"3. Regarding your wireless Access Point (AP): The problem exist with all the Access Points I use to test"

Sticking with the one you reported about in the Bug Description, could
you please provide the full manufacturer, model, and firmware version?

>"10b. If the mainline does not work, could you please test upstream's
compat-wireless backport via
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LinuxWireless#Compat-
wireless_from_upstream? Please mention in your report the specific
version you tested. 3.12"

Specifically, you tested upstreams development release via
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2013/11/13/backports-20131113.tar.bz2
?

>"11. Does ndiswrapper work following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper? Please
mention what specific version of ndiswrapper you tested with, and a link
to the Windows driver you used in your report. Info <!> If ndiswrapper
does not work, you are welcome to file a new bug report by executing at
a terminal: Works better: 1.27 Mbps Driver:
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails?driverId=M1PPT";

In your Bug Description, you noted when the problem first began you were
getting 40-70 KBs (320-560 Kbps). What speeds are properly working WiFi
clients getting?

Title:
  8086:4222 [Dell Vostro 1500] Slow 3945abg - 12.04

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

Bug description:
  I was suffering slow wifi transfers with my Vostro 1500 (Intel
  3945abg). 10.04 was ok, but since then, no matter what, the speed has
  been awful. Recently upgraded to 12.04, but no-luck. Transfers between
  40KBs and 70KBs... Wired connections to the same router allow me to
  connect up to 320KBs.... You can see previous info at bug #621265

  WORKAROUND: ndiswrapper works better: 1.27 Mbps
  Driver: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails?driverId=M1PPT
