It does indeed seem to be a rate control issue. When it slows down and I check the router it shows it's only going at 5.5Mbps. If I disconnect and check the router's rate from another wireless computer it immediately jumps back to 36+Mbps which is what it is normally at. It appears when the laptop with the 3945 card is on the wireless it slows the wireless down for everyone else on the wireless too.
