Installed rsync-3.1dev snapshot from 20091222 on both sides of the link and played with it
about hour or so. Results are much better, data transfer is more smooth, without long stalls
resulting in timeouts. To be precise, timeouts still occur but they are rare and probably 
related to wireless link drops, so nothing can be improved. Will do more experiments.

Also with 3.1dev I don't see --timeout problem as with 3.0.7pre1.

Is it worth to try development version in production or it is better to wait for stabilization?
