Hello Eddye - at the moment all my testing has been done with the same machine (an early 2008 MacBook Pro), and I don't have access to another Mac at the moment.
Just to confirm what was probably obvious anyway, nothing else in the set-up was changed, I just switched between the built-in and USB wireless adapters.
Since AIR seems to be quite tolerant to packet drops, as evidenced by the "five-second disconnection" tests on both wired and wireless interfaces, I don't think it's something as simple as the new adapter having better signal quality/strength. I suspect this means there is either an unwanted interaction between AIR and the AirPort driver, or possibly a hardware problem with my AirPort card. Either way, it's a strange one...
