I tried this and I did not see any difference.

The solution that worked for me (I only tested it in the last 24 hours with 5-6 high speed torrent downloads 3-4 MB/s) was replacing the driver (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1085620#p1085620):

1º install kernel linux-headers
2º wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
(or manually download compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 from that folder, it is the latest daily source)
3º tar jxvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
4º cd compat-wireless<tab>
5º make
6º sudo make install
7º sudo make unload
8º Reboot and try...
If it doesn't resolve the problem do:
cd compat-wireless<tab>
sudo make uninstall and reboot

I will update this in few days to let you know if I had any problem.

PS: In a short test, the latest kernel 3.4 RC6 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc6-precise/) did not do the job.
