You will notice (from apport data) that the kernel I am using is not the stock kernel, but this problem existed in exactly the same way when I was using the stock Xubuntu 11.10 64-bit kernel.
** Tags added: apport-collected oneiric ** Description changed: I am running Xubuntu 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X220, and my WiFi is very slow and disconnects randomly 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. 50% or more of public 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 + --- + ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 + Architecture: amd64 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 + InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111011) + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcEnviron: + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + Tags: oneiric + Uname: Linux 3.2.5-tunerc6v1-generic x86_64 + UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm admin audio cdrom dialout dip fax floppy fuse lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare scanner tape vboxusers video ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Description changed: - I am running Xubuntu 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X220, and my WiFi is - very slow and disconnects randomly on some WiFi networks.
