Emmanuel,
Thank you for your quick response!
It is a regression. I regularly had 300 Mbps speeds on this very access
point, but it was years ago, in the 2.6 kernel series. However, I
believe, from extensive online searches, that Intel has disabled the N
functionality in the firmware on Linux, ostensibly until they (you? :-)
) can fix whatever problem they were seeing. With the demise of the
Intel Linux Wireless bug tracker, though, public tracking of the bug has
been impossible. There are now-dead links to the defunct bug tracker
over this very issue.
Sadly I only get 2 MByte/s on N, and under 1 MByte/s G.
I have not tried another access point in ages. Tired of replacing fried
Netgears and Dlinks and Belkins, I've converted all my friends and
families to Apple's access points. I'll try to locate something else and
see how it goes.
Thanks again,
Steve

I understand that it's well-known that N is broken for Linux on this
wireless chipset. You can add me to the list of those suffering under
it. Can you provide me with a status update on work performed towards
resolution of this issue?
I'm on Debian unstable, kernel 3.9 amd64, using iwlwifi wireless
firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532 on a Thinkpad T410, and I'm
connected to an Apple Airport Extreme base station (3rd generation).
Is this a regression?
Has it worked better before?
Also - did you try another access point? I seem to remember that we have had issues against Apple's access points.
