I found the following bug report and associated mailing list thread of interest.

After reading the above, I decided to play around a bit more. I booted the 2.6.32 kernel and immediately tried to download the ISO. I received excellent throughput, nearly 2 MB/s, as with my other machine. I was actually having a difficult time causing the link to flake out, though I could tell it was happening very sporadically. I played around with setting the transfer rate manually (iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M), and this appeared to reduce/remove the flakiness. I then downed and upped the interface, after setting the rate to auto (iwconfig wlan0 rate auto), and the flakiness was back.

I was a bit shocked at this point and didn't continue playing with the 3.2 and 3.5 kernels. I suppose this isn't as easily reproducible as I thought...? I'm getting speeds ranging from 1 MB/s to 2 MB/s right now. Oh, it just dropped to 200 kB/s... And now it's steadily raising. Sorry for the dialog...
