Choppy mp3's via wireless connections...

[Net Llama!]

Its not clear what you're using to play the mp3s.  You mentioned some 
KDE player, but have you tried using mpg123 ?  What about mplayer (yes 
it can play mp3s too)  If so, have you tried mpg123 or mplayer in 
runlevel 3, with all of X & KDE not running?  What does your ifconfig 
output look like for your wifi interface?  Any errors, or dropped packets?
