(Get the code!)
I've been doing some tests since I realized I was suffering from this bug. My internet speed is supposed by be 30 Mbps. I always get about 28.5-29.0 Mbps with a wired ethernet connection, no matter what machine or kernel or OS. Wireless differs. On Linux I get better performance with the older kernel, like everyone else:
kernel 2.6.35-22: 2.1 Mbps max down, about 3 Mbps up
kernel 2.6.32-25: 12.0 Mbps max down and up
It's better with the old kernel, but it's still pretty bad compared with when I boot into Windows:
Vista SP2: 20.0 Mbps max up and down
It's hard to believe Vista could out-perform linux at anything, but this is ridiculous. Even when performing at its best, the iwlwifi driver is crappy compared to what I get on Windows. :(
