What's the distance between your client and the AP? If it's very short, 
you should try to increase it a little. I've experienced similar 
problems (with packet losses up to 90%) with very low distances, most 
probably caused by jammed receiver in the Atheros card.

On the other hand your description indicates that there might be other 
problems. Try to tell the AP not to use 22 MBit at all. I vaguely 
remember that another user reported a similar problem and in the end it 
showed up that the AP was switching to 22 MBit (which isn't supported by 
non-TI chipsets); when the AP noticed that the client doesn't "speak" 22 
MBit it switched back, just to switch to 22 MBit again after a few seconds.

Bye, Mike
