I'f your wireless is dropping or has poor performance in LM 12 or 13 and you have an intel wireless card, check out these bugs/fixes.

There is an upstream bug and a regession in the 3.x kernel. Some people have had luck disabling wireless n.

Depending on which driver you have, try applying this setting to iwlwifi or iwlagn, use lsmod to see which module is loaded for you.

Code: Select all
sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1


make it permanent by adding

Code: Select all
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1


to .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/
