Hi again (fixed your address, I hope it will not bounce this time...)

Please test the patch attached.

I can confirm this patch fixes the problem on my hardware, my throughput 
is back to 164 Mbit/s

Thank you very much,

Ok - good. This patch has been submitted to our internal tree and will
show up upstream soon.

Patch

From bb6f89bc21b1ebc93018bbddd5935f4badc6a12d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: fix max_ht_ampdu_exponent for older devices

The commit below didn't update the max_ht_ampdu_exponent
for the devices listed in iwl-[1-6]000.c
This had an impact in the Rx throughput. One user reported
that because of this, his downstream throughput by a half.

Fix that.
