Resend and plain-text to avoid being marked as spam by vger.kernel.org

I am a novice at this, so apologies in advance for anything I am overlooking.

The environment is as follows:
Network Card:
[dylan@zenbook linux]$ lspci | grep -i net
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)


Kernel:
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ uname -a
Linux zenbook 3.12.7-1-iwlwifidebug #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 12 12:26:28
PST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux



iwconfig
[dylan@zenbook linux]$ iwconfig -v
iwconfig  Wireless-Tools version 29
          Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v22.

Kernel    Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.

wlan0     Recommend Wireless Extension v21 or later,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.



When power management is off, everything seems ok:
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 | grep Management
          Power Management:off
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ ping -c 10 192.168.11.253

Howerver, when power save is turned on, the ping response latency goes
through the roof:
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 | grep Management
          Power Management:on
[dylan@zenbook ~]$

Disabling power save brings us back to the original state:
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 | grep Management
          Power Management:off
[dylan@zenbook ~]$ ping -c 10 192.168.11.253

I have debugfs enabled for 802.11 as well as iwlwifi.
If there is any information I can provide to help find the issue, I
would be happy to help.

take care
