[Bug 1289961] Re: Power management causes Intel wifi 7260 slowness

 

Francois Thirioux, could you please test the latest mainline kernel via
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-rc2-trusty/ and
advise to the results?

** Description changed:

- I get a new ThinkPad T440s with Intel 7260 ac wireless.
+ In Ubuntu Trusty (Gnome) with my ThinkPad T440s using Intel 7260 ac
+ wireless the download speed reaches an upper limit 400 kB/s instead of
+ the normal 1500 kB/s I get with some other PC connected to my network.
+ The speed often slows down very very low, especially when I'm far away
+ from my AP. Removing N mode does not solve the issue.
  
- The dowload speed reachs an upper limit 400 kB/s instead of the normal
- 1500 kB/s I get with some other PC connected to my network. The speed
- often slows down very very low, especially when I'm far away from my AP.
+ WORKAROUND: Remove wireless interface's power management via Powertop
  
- I use Ubuntu Trusty (Gnome) up-to-date.
- 
- Removing N mode does not solve the issue. So I tried removing the
- wireless interface's power management in Powertop and it did solve the
- slowness issue. (iwconfig shows "Power management : off" in this case,
- obviously.)
