Have just now downloaded and run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" on these:

linux-image-3.15.0-031500rc5-generic_3.15.0-031500rc5.201405091635_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.15.0-031500rc5_3.15.0-031500rc5.201405091635_all.deb
linux-headers-3.15.0-031500rc5-generic_3.15.0-031500rc5.201405091635_amd64.deb

Booted on 3.15.0-031500rc5 and wireless doesn't appear to be any
different so far but only have about 30 mins of uptime so far.

I have noticed that wireless strength has been consistently low too over
the last 24-36 hours.   (It is low, but consistent.)

(quick back-story) : Router is a Linksys E4200 running DD-WRT firmware.
The WiFi has been split to b/g on one antennae and the mixed n/a on the
other.   They are different networks (one with a -n tag  on the n/a
network SSID to ensure differentiation).

I have my iphone 5 (not 5s) next to me here and the signal is strong (full 
bars) but the laptop only shows 2 of the 4 bars signal.   This has been 
consistent with the 3.13 Kernel and also now the 3.15rc version.  
If I go to a room that is further away (which means signal would run through 
two walls instead of one), signal strength stays the same;  two bars out of 4.  
I streamed doctor who for a few hours last night and didn't have any issues.   

I will continue to use/test and will report again soon.   
Is there anything else that I can do to assist with testing?   
 
Also, will I have to GRUB boot and choose the 3.15rc kernel on each boot, or 
now that I have selected it once will it continue to default to it?  

Thanks for your continuing assistance.  :)

Kind regards,

Ed.
