When you say "so bad" can you quantify this? Is it low signal
strength? Is it many retries? Is it poor data rates?

I didn't see anything jumping out at me.
Just a shot in the dark... Do you have the "crda" package installed?
What geographic region do you live in? Without the crda things will
default to a default global value. With crda installed you can set
your specific region in /etc/default/crda and that may have some
benefit in terms of power levels.
Another shot in the dark... I have had both the ipw2200 and the
iwl3945 devices in various laptops. I don't know why but sometimes
that driver will get into a bad state and need to be unloaded and
loaded again. reloading the driver will often solve strange problems
on my ThinkPads.
rmmod ipw2200 ; sleep 1; modprobe ipw2200
Or:
rmmod iwl3945 ; sleep 1; modprobe iwl3945
Maybe something similar for your driver would be helpful? Note that I
am just guessing while trying to be helpful but do not know for sure.
