I have no experience with this card, but I had an Atheros card a few years ago that was horrible when power saving mode was enabled. When I disabled power saving, the performance was good. Of course this uses more battery power... Maybe something similar happens with yours. Especially if it works in Ubuntu, maybe you can look at the settings with iwconfig and figure out what the difference is between that and Gentoo.
