Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic

Installed Ubuntu 11.04Beta (Codename: Natty) a few days ago, everythink works correctly as in Ubuntu 10.10. Except WLAN. WLAN works out of the box, but the transfer rates are extremly slow. On both sides (AP and netbook) are the signal strength about 80% and the given maximum transfer rates are about 120Mbits. The effective transfer is about 20KBytes.
Using Natty on an Samsumg N150 wich has a Atheros chipset.
My wife has also a Samsung netbook with the same chipset but without 802.11n support (only 802.11b + g).
Suggestions: The problem seems to be the "n"-standart.

Additional Information:
As near as I am at the AP the effective rates are rising. This was not an issue with kernel 2.6.36 (as it is a part of Ubutu 10.10).
