I tested it on my 6235, and the ifconfig shows:

The iperf results can be find here:

It is tested between this laptop and another desktop which connects to the
wireless router through LAN.

The router is a TP-Link TL-WR1043N with openwrt. If I test through wired
connection, it reaches ~920Mbps.

I'm running r259020. I modified the firmware version to be
iwlwifi-6000g2b-18.168.6.1

Thanks for the hard work!
