Comment 3 for bug 374847

I think I may have isolated the problems.

1. I replaced the pci card 2915ABC with an older one that is B only and
uses the IPW2100 driver. The problem still existed.
2. I disabled burst mode on my WRT54G router and it got a bit better.
3. I completely removed the network manager and related items and use
the gnome-network manager (old style like was in 8.04) and it still got
better.
4. Finally, I changed the irq on the pci slot from 11 to 5 and have not
seen the problem since. I figured pretty much everything was routed thru
irq 11, and that couldn't be a good thing. I'm lucky that my T42 allows
you to set irqs on the pci slots/accessories. Most don't.

I have a newer 2915 BG card coming so I will be interested in seeing if
the IPW2200 driver responds the same way.
