@ Torsten Krah
I don't remember where I previously saw this, but I had this issue before maverick and back then the info available stated that it was some IRQ issue between the graphics and the wireless card, the intel wireless card being the culprit.
So previously I hardcoded that switch in grub for every kernel to load, we DO loose the nice boot graphics but that's apparently it. Connection remains stable and so do the speeds.
Just now I did a speedtest.net test:
Ping : 16ms
Up : 19.07 Mbps
Down: 1.56 Mbps
Without hardcoding you can try it yourself, on your grub loader hit "e" which will edit the current entry. At the end of the line add what I said previously, then hit CTRL-X to load that entry and test your wireless connection to exhaustion.
Do note that using the maverick kernel provided here and the compat drivers also provided here, before the security kernel got released, I was also having similar good results. So, what's the actual fix? Duno :| Just know that what I'm doin' works...
