Apparently, http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/ has a "tcpkill" utility
that can kill TCP connections (although probably not simulate timeouts
and the like) as well as a variety of programs to do nasty things to
sockets. Might be worth a try.

Although, of course, nothing ever surpasses in evilness a simple wifi
that randomly drops connections. :)
