RE: OT: wireless

How often does the dropping happen? I had XP boxes that wouldn't =
connect to a Cisco WAP before; they'd look like they were connecting and =
then drop it. Problem was an XP patch from Microsoft killed the drivers =
for the cards. After reinstalling the drivers (and rebooting the =
machines, of course *grin*) problem went away.

Could it be some powersave issue that is causing it to drop the
connection? Or does it happen in the middle of being used?
