But, within the LAN you are trying to push at a higher utilization and I don't think wireless can handle it.  I don't think it has to do with Linux or Samba.  I have experienced this with FTP locally and Windows to Windows.

If you have not disabled power saving options, try that. I have seen
that make a noticeable improvement in performance as well as fix a few
stall-like problems. That's mainly for when you are accessing a lan and
have access to a power outlet, though.

When I want to move large files, I use my 10/100 PCMCIA (3Com).  You may want to try moving the files with an application that you can throttle the bandwidth.
