I'm experiencing this problem on my machine equipped with a Linksys PCI Wireless Adapter (Broadcom 4306 Rev. 02 Chipset), too.
However, manually setting the bitrate on the adapter to a low value seems to help a lot:

After executing:
$ sudo iwconfig eth2 rate 5.5M fixed

my max. download rate now is at 360 kb/s again (that's line limit, actually), while it was around 40 kb/s before, and the automatic adapter bitrate setting was constantly at 24MBit/s.
