workarounds for very slow wifi using iwlagn driver?

edit

Just upgraded to f16 and I get intermittent connection problems and very slow wireless speed even when I can connect. This hardware was and wifi was working fine in f14. I am using the iwlagn, lscpi reports that I have the Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMax 6250 (rev5f) chip:

I did some Googling and it seems there are problems with the driver in kernels > 2.3.40 (I'm on kernel-2.6.35.14-103.fc14.x86_64), but the kernel bug is about not being able to connect at all, whereas, I can connect, but it is very slow. This has also been reported on Fedora forum

Any known workarounds?
