Created attachment 521291 [details] dmesg output with 11n enabled Wireless performance is severely degraded on my ThinkPad X61 with an Intel 4965AGN when using the iwl4965 driver in 11n mode. Not only is all network traffic very slow, but grinds to a complete halt. AFAIK this is a regression from before the iwlagn driver was split. Kernel: 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 The symptoms are identical to bug #733269, but the hardware is different and the proposed fix does not help. The only workaround is to disable 11n with the 11n_disable=1 option. Attached is the dmesg output when 11n is enabled and performance is severely degraded. The output is identical with 11n_disable=1 except for the two lines: [ 802.507084] iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 6 [ 815.870043] iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: iwl4965_tx_agg_start on ra = 00:25:9c:ca:7b:bc tid = 0 which appear only when 11n is enabled.
Are you still seeing this with 2.6.43/3.3?
Yes, I'm still seeing this on F16 running 3.3.5-2.fc16.x86_64. Please let me know if there's any more information I can help with.

Hi and sorry for the late response. I just tested on F17 with 3.6.10-2.fc17 and the problem has indeed gone away.
