If you don't want the auto speed adjustment, or are unhappy with it, you can 
change the rate setting 
with the 'iwconfig eth1 rate Y' command. As your system seems not to auto-scale 
very well, I would 
try values for Y of 11M, 18M, 24M, 36M, 48M, and 54M (in that order). For each 
speed, try a ping 
flood against your AP (ping -f 192.168.1.1, or whatever address is shown as the 
gateway in a 'route 
-n' command). As long as you don't see a lot of dots from the flood, it is safe 
to try the next 
higher speed. Once you get a failure, you might want to back off one extra 
speed for safety.

Have you tried changing the AP's channel, if possible? You might find less 
interference with a 
different setting. Does your location have any other 2.4 GHz devices like 
portable telephones or 
baby monitors, etc. They could interfere.
