Bug Description
I am running Xubuntu 11.10 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X220, and my WiFi is very slow and disconnects randomly (though disconnects are rare) on some WiFi networks. It also refuses to even connect to some networks. All of these are networks which have excellent signal strength and which many other people are successfully connected to. All of the networks I have problems with are unencrypted/public, but that may be pure chance. My home network (encrypted with WPA2, Netgear router) is 100% flawless. All or virtually all public/unencrypted WiFis I use experience this issue. The issue does not appear on other machines on the same connections. I believe there may be an issue with he iwlwifi driver that causes this. My wifi card and driver details are as follows:
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [8086:0084]
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 BGN [8086:1315]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
