For what it is worth; at those distances, the European GSM masts in the
1800Mhz frequencies do cause the receivers of most cards to blank out due
to overload when used with for example a simple omni. This is visible as
short burst of no receiption and a very sudden low noise with little
signal.
At www.wirelessleiden.net we are currently experimenting with wave guide
antenna's which have a much narrower range around the 2.2Ghz when we are
deploying near a GSM mast:
The whave guide:

In the from the two sector GSM antennas, to the back/right the WiFi
antenna:

We're not quite done testing/deploying here - so we are not quite sure yet
if this solves the problems.
