Bug Description
[WORKAROUND]
(This will not fix all problems for all: see comment 24.)
Disable the power saving measures implemented by /usr/lib/
To disable them do:
sudo touch /etc/pm/
You now should have an empty file named wireless without the executable bit set in /etc/pm/power.d.
Check with:
ls -lh /etc/pm/power.d/
You should see a file like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-12-31 18:53 wireless
Reference: man pm-powersave
[ORIGINAL REPORT]
Since upgrading to maverick, wireless performance on my Macbook Pro 7.1 has been terrible. It was fine under lucid.
Pinging the router:
13 packets transmitted, 12 received, 7% packet loss, time 12024ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 52.867/
iperf to another machine connected via ethernet over power (typical latency from this machine is ~3ms to router)

OK, it only happens when running on battery power. When plugged into the mains performance is fine:
