I've updated the bios (after several hours of poking around for
solutions--the links on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate are
out of date and only work with older, floppy-sized bios updates--I was
able to get the solution on this page using memdisk and FreeDOS to work
though--http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1545929). I will turn
on Wireless N and test again to see if the bios update fixes the issue.

Title:
  8086:0082 Speed regression for Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Wireless

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Raring, my wireless on my laptop has consistently
  been incredibly slow to non-functional. Every few minutes it stops
  working completely, I disable wireless by hardware switch and
  reenable, it works (albeit very slowly) for a few minutes, then
  gradually deteriorates, loading half web pages or just giving me a
  blank page saying the site is not found.

  WORKAROUND: Disable wireless "n" in iwlwifi.
