Title:
  extremly slow wireless connection between two notebooks

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am trying to transfer data between two notebooks connected using
  their Wi-Fi radios.

  Machine 1:  HP ZBook 15 configured to serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
  Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev
  24). The machine also has a mobile broadband USB device (Huawei E3251)
  which connects it to the internet.

  Machine 2: Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO Pro V3205. It is connected to machine
  1 using wireless adapter. Network controller: Intel Corporation
  PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02).

  Both machines run latest development version of ubuntu 14.04. (Machine
  1 a 64-bit system, machine 2 a 32-bit system.) The Wi-Fi hotspot
  (running on machine 1) employs the WEP authentication. The connection
  speed is only about  0.1 MiB/s, i.e. about 0.8 Mbps. This is far below
  what the Wi-Fi adapters in both machines are able to do. The
  particular program I used was rsync. The data were transferred from
  machine 2 to machine 1. The speed was the same slow for rsync invoked
  either on machine 1 or 2.

  Yesterday I tried a different way to connect the two laptops: I
  created a Wi-Fi hotspot using an android smartphone with a WPA2 PSK
  autentication. That other wireless connection between the two laptops
  was at least one order of magnitude faster. (I do not remember precise
  number but surely it was much much faster.)
