[Timmmm <1208197@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I updated my BIOS, and tested this with the Ubuntu 14.10 live CD. It
seems much improved. I got 23 Mb/s in Linux vs 33 Mb/s in Windows on
speedtest.net. Obviously that is not the ideal way to test, but my
router doesn't have a speed test mechanism, and both tests were
performed within a couple of minutes of each other.

So it seems it still isn't quite as good as on Windows, but it is far
far better than the ~50 kB/s I was getting previously so I'd say this
can be closed.

Title:
  7392:7811 Edimax EW-7811UN wifi speeds lower than in Windows

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have an EW-7811UN wifi dongle. It does work (connects to networks).
  However it is much slower than in Windows (2Mb/s vs at least 15 Mb/s).
  Absolutely nothing changed between tests except I rebooted into
  Windows. Same USB port, same time, same position, etc.

  This is with Ubuntu 13.04
