I am seeing this same (or perhaps similar) problem on a Gateway laptop that has this same wireless chipset in it. It will associate with the access point, but never manage to move any data (like a DHCP request), unless very very close to the AP. Worth noting that the AP in question works fine with other machines simultaneously at expected ranges, and is on Channel 10. This laptop that is having trouble has been able to connect to other APs, but I don't know what channel those were on, or what the range was. Will post more details when I am able to get the machine for an extended period from the user.
