Hi,
I often transfer files to a NAS connected to my router. When I installed Ubuntu 13.10 on my laptop I usually got a transfer speeds right below 6 MBps which is decent. Then suddenly the speed dropped to 2-3 MBps and I had no idea why. I looked at recent updates and I just had a kernel upgrade. I then booted the previous version of the kernel and the speed went back up again. I also tried two of the newer mainline kernels, 3.12 and 3.13 from the Ubuntu kernel repo. With 3.12 the speed was still down between 2 and 3 MBps. but with the 3.13 kernel it was up to above 7 MBps, faster than with any other kernel. Why is it such a big difference between kernel versions even between the 3.11 kernels where the initial one that came with 13.10 had the higher upload speed while the latest upgrade 3.11.0.14.15 is slow?
