I think that it is some kind of a networking issue, like TCP
connections not properly following the TCP resend logic, or some such.

The fact that the problem only occurs when you're using a wireless connection could indicate an MTU-related problem with your networking hardware.

Try lowering the MTU on the wireless interface ("ifconfig <your_wireless_interface> mtu 1492") and/or have iptables clamp the tcp-mss value to the MTU. ("iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu")
