I'm experiencing the same issue, I've been testing it by copying files
from a server in my house using FTP. Transfer rates average 200KB/s or
so with the Maverick kernels, however if I use the 2.6.32-21 Lucid
kernel I get speeds of 3MB/s!

Here's how I installed the Lucid kernel...

Add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic

This installs the image, but since it's an older image, grub doesn't
boot to it. You have a few options here. You can try to press ESC on
boot to get into the grub menu then manually select the 2.6.32-21 image.
I have a hard time with the timing and miss it often. To increase the
timeout edit /etc/default/grub and increase the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT to
something like 5. That gives you more time to press escape.

To make it boot 2.6.32-21 by default, get into the grub menu by pressing
ESC right before Ubuntu boots. Count the grub menu entries to the kernel
you want, mine was entry 6. Edit /etc/default/grub and change
GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to that number. Now your system will boot that kernel
automatically.

It works great for me, I know some would rather have a fix for the
2.6.35 kernel, but I don't know of any improvements in 2.6.35 that I
need!

Thanks,
Chris
