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. :)
