Hello.

I have a notebook with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless
card.

In gentoo (kernel 3.4.3-gentoo) and also in Fedora 17 the connection
through it is of poor quality. ping to the router is getting about 50%
packet loss.

With Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 the connection is ok, without packet
loss.

Gentoo, Fedora and Ubuntu are all using the iwlwifi module for the
centrino wireless card.
