Just thought I'd post my experience with this bug and testing out the
potential fix.
I have the following configuration:
nandan@nandan-Aspire-5920:~$ lspci -vnn | grep -A 1 Wireless
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[Golan] Network Connection [8086:4222] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[8086:1000]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43
nandan@nandan-Aspire-5920:~$ uname -a
Linux nandan-Aspire-5920 2.6.35-27-generic #47lp621265v201102161837 SMP Wed Feb
16 18:51:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did not compile the module provided by the Red Hat folks but only
applied the kernel provided by Andy.
When using the 2.6.35-27 kernel , my speeds are back to normal, which is
actually 1Mbps itself, since it is capped by the ISP :|
Prior to that my speeds were less than 1Mbps, closer to 512kbps, so there is
some improvement from the earlier regression.
Unfortunately, I cannot test whether it does or doesnt go any faster
than that at the moment, since my wifi at home is capped at 1Mbps :(
P.S. The subsystem on my 3965 wireless chip is [8086:1000] as well.
And I remember seeing a message like "Failed to initiate AccessPoint scan" in
/var/log/syslog when using the default Maverick kernels. This message seems to
be gone using the 2.6.35-27 kernel
