Description:
Ever since kernel 3.2.2 and including the latest one (3.2.4) my wireless speed has been extremely slow. When doing a speed test, it will start at 5Mbps or so, and then decrease down to almost 0Mbps for a minute or two, and then slowly increase again, and then it drops back down to around 0. Eventually, the content will load, but it takes a VERY long time.

This is not an issue in the LTS kernel. Wired network speed is fine, though Thunderbird cannot connect to my email at all with either wireless or wired (not sure if that is related).

Simply use wireless.

I have the same problem, I try the solution to put "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf but it's not working.

When back in the LTS kernel the wifi is working fine.
