David Ayers, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 
Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging 
information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 899009

As well, since you identified this being a regression, the next step
would be to perform a kernel bisect. Could you please do this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing regression-release

** Description changed:

  I'm using Maverick on a day to day basis on this HP Presario CQ61 and I
  have also tested Natty via a USB-stick installation.  Both have good
  wireless connection behavior.  Yet when testing Oneiric via A USB-stick
  installation the wireless connection is has extreme latency issues.  For
  example, using scp to copy the initrd via Natty or Maverick takes about
  7 seconds on my network, where Oneiric quickly stalls at about 10% and
  takes minutes before reaching 11% after which I abort.
  
  Also access vie NFS stalls, surfing has long latencies as does any other
  network transfer.
  
  There's nothing suspicious [for me] the dmesg or syslog and ifconfig
  does not report dropped packages.
  
- I'm not sure how I would gather more meaningful information.
+ WORKAROUND: Turning off the hardware encryption works around the issue
+ for me:
+ 
+ sudo -s
+ echo echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
+ 
+ reboot
