Experiencing very slow browsing at times (atheros wireless)

[Matthew Dillon]

    I'll just interject another data point, which is that TCP connections
    often seem to 'die in the middle' when downloading large browser pages
    when the server tries to send you maximally sized TCP segments,
    and then hits some sort of MTU issue somewhere along the hops.  The
    symptom is that small pages will appear to work fine, but large pages
    will come to a grinding halt.
