Another report.  I've turned off waproamd to see if it was causing the 
problem.  With it turned off, the wireless seems a little more solid -- 
it doesn't drop out quite as predictably.  But it still drops out 
eventually.

One thing that seems different without waproamd running is that when it 
drops out, iwconfig no longer shows the access point MAC address.  So 
maybe I'm dealing with a compound problem: there is an issue with the 
driver dropping out and waproamd also has issues (???).

Anyone with any other ideas for something to try?

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
