Hello again,
I have narrowed this down to have regressed between 3.13.6-200.fc20 and
3.13.7-200. Using pointers from Josh Boyer of #fedora-devel, I have
managed to restore the previous performance by loading iwlwifi with
11n_disable=8. I am now at 3.14.1-200 with that option enabled and the
network is fast as it used to be.
Is such a major performance hit expected from this change? Here is the
commit in question:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-3.13.y&id=45e5cb4f43d33e72ff5f98c80b081eb42e4e4182
Best regards,
Julian
