Unfortunately, no... "about a month or two ago", I think... but I haven't
been able to verify it, partially because the old machine was only sometimes
on wireless.

There don't seem to be any "pauses" - it's just that, suddenly,
during a connection, the connection will instantly close; it doesn't
time out, it closes within milliseconds of the last successful
packet.  Other connections that weren't so heavily loaded, such as
ssh windows, are unaffected.

I can't reproduce this for the next week or so - it only happens on my home
LAN, and I'm about 1200 miles from it right now.
