Just at the end of December, I got a computer with the same interface _AND_ the same problem. There is a problem with TX DMA with PCI-E cards. You can either use the kernel from the wireless-dev git tree, or you can use PIO mode for the card. I have been out of town and have not had a chance to find the problem, but wuill post a fix ASAP.
