Hello, sorry I am late to this discussion but I wanted to report that I also see the same issues being reported here. I have been trying to find the cause for many weeks and was delighted to stumble upon this thread. This problem has been driving me nuts.
I see the same frequent disconnects every couple of minutes, it evidences itself as 2 second pauses when playing AAC audio from my Boxee system. In Wireshark I see TCP Retransmission events every time this happens and in the messages file I see the same rt_ioctl_giwscan messages when it happens.
Strangely, on my Linux box I am able to copy a 3Gb file from my Windows share (smb) using the same wireless connection. It seems as though the problems may be related to the size of the packets.
My system is dual booted, Jaunty 32bit and Karmic 32 bit, I see the problems with both OS's.
I am using a Linksys WUSB600n V2 USB adapter, it has the ralink rt3572 chipset. I have installed the latest rt3572 drivers from the Ralink website (I ran 'make install', etc, i.e. I am not using ndiswrapper)
I followed the instructions in the following launchpad thread to install and set up the rt3572 driver:

In case anyone is interested, at the above thread I posted my Wireshark results where you can see the TCP Retransmission events occurring.
I am pretty sure this is not a problem with the WUSB600N itself as if I move it to a Windows XP machine and stream the same AAC files it works flawlessly, Obviously the buffering may be different with the Windows app so that may be a factor, although I am using the same Boxee Beta version. Note also that I see the same issues if I use other media players on my Linux box - it is not a Boxee issue in my opinion.
Also I wanted to mention that my setup has the WUSB600N V2 in the same room as my Dlink DIR-825 router, just 10ft apart. The signal strength is 100%. network-manager shows that it is connected at 270Mbps. I am using 5Ghz band, WPA2
If anyone needs me to provide more detail please ask. If there is any way I can help, again please ask. For me, Linux and Wireless just doesn't play well together. This is the show stopper for me at the moment,
thanks
