I might be related:

I have a netgear PCMCIA card and a netgear router. I use 7.10 and wpa_supplicant with roaming configuration. Connection seems quite stable as long as I'm browsing or reading mails, but:
- watching movie from an NFS share (to server is connected via UTP to the same router) causes the link to be dropped every once in a while
- starting to copy from the NFS share (ie.: a movie) to the laptops disk causes the link to be dropped in a few seconds. Link than comes up, lights show heavy traffic and than link gets dropped in a few seconds again....and so on.

The above symptoms (hardly any link drops on low traffic intensity, and lots of drop on high int.) show me, that the driver has issues on high load. As I said this might not be related, but I'm no expert, however, I'm glad to provide more info or write a new bugreport in case you think it's relevant.
