Paweł Kowalik, just to clarify, are you connecting via 802.11n, 802.11g, both when this issue occurs? ** Tags added: latest-firmware -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451233

NetworkManager shows the 150Mb/s speed so it must be 802.11n. Should I switch the access point to 802.11g only mode and do the testing? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.
