I saw this once on an older snapshot (granted, when I've got "large" transfers at this point in time I just find a cat-5 cable). Just a random question, I've seen "slowdowns" of sorts (short periods of time when I can't transfer any data) if I don't lock the speed with iwconfig wlan0 rate 18M, and I also recall having trouble with large file transfers (which is why I just grab the cat5), does this problem go away for you if you rate lock the card to some slower (18M works for me) speed? I've just as a test transferred a HUGE file and whilst it's slow I'm not seeing the problem you're describing as long as I have the rate-lock in place, as soon as I remove it transfer speeds vary wildly, but still not the problem you describe. Kernel version is 2.6.26.5 with compat-wireless-2008-07-03. I won't be able to actually help fix the problem, but it may bump somebody else in the right direction. I am going to say this: I'm highly impressed with the progress that I've seen with the ath5k module.
