I have extremely slow Wi-Fi connection on my Linux Mint. The network controller is Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
. I found on the Ubuntu wiki a fix:
sudo rmmod iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
I got:
Error: Module iwlwifi is in use by: iwldvm
So I did:
sudo rmmod iwldvm
sudo rmmod iwldvm # (went fine then)
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
My wlan0 was not up, so I started the iwldvm too.
sudo modprobe iwldvm
Unfortunately the Internet is still too slow. I tried different approaches but nothing worked. Mainly I am confused that the Wi-Fi worked fine for a week, now I am experiencing such troubles. I've read that the kernel upgrade to 3.10 should fix this, but I can't boot that one and 3.9 didn't fix this.
Is it possible that my machine (Asus Zenbook Prime) is using different thing then the iwlwifi
? I am just asking because I found a file in /etc/modprobe.d/
called iwlwifi.conf
which contains:
# /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
# microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first
# remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.
remove iwlwifi \
(/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) \
&& /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211
The lsmod | grep iwlwifi
command gives me:
iwlwifi 173477 1 iwldvm
cfg80211 510937 3 iwlwifi,mac80211,iwldvm
