I also have a very slow network connection (1-2kB/s instead of > 1MB). I found out that I had to install the firmware for carl9170, which is supposed to be the successor of the (now deprecated) ar9170usb driver. With the carl9710 driver compiled from linuxwireless.org, everything works fine. Seems to be related to #713987.
