Since I've updated from the release candidate I've been having slow wifi performance.
What I experience is pretty low speeds: about 1MB/s instead of 12MB/s I'm able to reach on windows.
Also It's hard to get any page loaded up, chrome says "sending request" but it can hang in that state for several seconds.
I usually hit enter again, to force a retry, and usually the pages load up half way.
I noticed the performance is even worse when having my bluetooth stick plugged in.
iwconfig

I've tried using the windows drivers using the ndis tool, which seem to load fine. They report that the hardware is available.
But, the intel linux drivers are still insmodded. I tried rmmod to unload them, but the windows drivers seem to kick in properly...
also, how do you disable them during boot time?
I hope someone can help me, since without wifi you don't really have the proper laptop experience
