It is strange.  Since I've got back to -CURRENT dated 10/09/05, I've had
no problems.  I've been looking at my logs, and it seems the problems
were when the connection switched from DS to OFDM.

Thu Oct 20 17:10:56 CDT 2005 (DS/11Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:11:07 CDT 2005 (OFDM/6Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:11:43 CDT 2005 (DS/5.5Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:12:27 CDT 2005 (DS/2Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:12:31 CDT 2005 (DS/1Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:12:39 CDT 2005 (OFDM/36Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:12:47 CDT 2005 (OFDM/24Mbps)
Thu Oct 20 17:14:00 CDT 2005 (OFDM/18Mbps)

Do you know what those modes are?  

I'm willing to continue testing but will only have this laptop for three
more days, then it's gone for two weeks.
