I have the same problem using an apple airport express as AP. In my case the problem is clearly related
to distance to the AP and signal strength. If I am close to the AP (say 5 m), there is never any problem.
At 15 m, download rate suddenly drops to 100 kB / s. In that case, iwconfig reports "Link Quality=40/70 Signal level=-70 dBm".
If the module is reloaded, transfer rate is good again, but only for some minutes.

This bug exists since the birth of iwl3945... I have had it since 8.04 ! Any chance to see it fixed one day ?
What can we do to help ?
