Odd wpi behavior

Hello!
I have read a discussion about wpi driver in September this year. I have also a
problem with the Intel 3945ABG, but the other kind. Symptoms: 802.11 connection
is established smoothly and without interruption, however, any active tcp
connections, which is fast data transfer, are interrupted in a few seconds.
That is, for example, ssh connection is not interrupted (only sometimes),
because it is not as active as, say, downloading files from ftp or http
servers. This happens even if I did not move with my laptop (HP Pavilion
dv6840er) in the next roomof home (10 meters-1 wall). Stable and fast tcp
connection can be established only at a distance of 1-2 meters from the access
point (dlink dwl g700ap in the bridge mode) and only stationary (then im not
moving around with laptop). If i shift with laptop to 10-20 cm in any
direction, smoothly or rapidly, the transfer of data in established connections
is terminated. It was observed that the delays in icmp (ping) is not affected,
that is, if im moving with laptop at home, the icmp answers is not increasing.
I think this is because no connection in icmp request-reply.
I admit that the reason may be in access point, but...
Some info:
connection to AP is OPEN
wpi is not in the kernell
