OK, sorry for the confusion, iwl4965 was not enabled by default, and I assumed it was not there. I've completed the test, wireless-testing kernel from two days ago does not resolve the slow wireless connection.

It's an old Wireless-B unit, so I can only guess it's 'B' only. It is a Linksys WAP11 Ver. 2.0 Firmware: v2.05, Aug. 04, 2003. Unfortunately, the hotels and coffee shops around the country are filled with these units, and I travel for a living, so I'm holding out hopes for a solution, and stand ready to help in any way I can. Again, I will update the bug report with this data.
