The kernel still isn't public, but part of the issue appears to be my
router - Once a couple of failures have happened, i'm then unable to get
known 'good' configurations working.

Good:
3.11.0-12-generic using firmware:
[ 4679.763448] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532 op_mode iwldvm

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:1257  Invalid misc:90   Missed beacon:0
I'm getting transfer speeds > 3MB/s

I'll post bad after a reboot of both router and laptop in a couple of
hours.

Title:
  linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic appears to regress connection speed for
  iwlwifi

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recently installed 13.10 and immediately updated to the latest
  updates via my ethernet work connection.

  Got home and noted that linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic was only able to
  transfer to my local media box via wifi at ~350kB/s (ie. Taking 10+
  minutes for a 300Mb file)

  After trawling the net for a while, the usual solution appeared to be
  "restart with 11n_disable=1 as a module option."

  That didn't solve the issue not did several other suggestions. So I
  reverted to the other kernal installed on my system linux-
  image-3.11.0-12-generic

  After booting that kernel my transfer speeds are ~3MB/s - much saner
  (though I have had things configured so I get closer to 6MB/s)

  Not sure what other info I can provide.
