I had a lot trouble with a D-LINK 613+. I was resetting it a
couple of times a week until it finally died completely. I
replaced it with a Linksys WRT54G. I have had one unexplained loss
of wireless connection with it since I bought it in the spring. A
rest fixed the problems. Otherwise it has worked flawlessly. I
also have a netgear usb 802.11b adapter that has never worked
consistently, while my Linksys WUSB11 adapters have all just run
fine including on linux. It appears to me when it comes to
wireless not all equipment is created equal.
