This is the thread where I speak with myself, so please indulge me one last
time lol :). Well I sure hope it is the last time!
I *may* have found the fix! I was finally able to transfer some large
directories with samba over my wireless connection.
Here's what I did:
1. Disable ipv6 in /etc/sysctl.conf by adding:
#disable ipv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
2. Replace network-manager by wicd
3. Execute:
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
(info on how to make that persistent found on
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966860&page=4)
Not sure steps #1 and #2 are really needed. Step #3 was on the other hand
crucial to finally making it work.
Now keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that the problem has been fixed
once and for all.
