If possible, I would also try to get hold of another wireless client
and see if it is affected in the same way. I have an IBM T42 that
just drops its connection to a Linksys WAP11 for no reason. I have
another IBM laptop, A21 with an Orinoco Gold ABG card in it and it
never drops, and will continue on when my laptop is not working.
Power cycling the WAP11 almost always works. Sometimes, stopping and
restaring the wireless card on my laptop works.

I blame the IBM drivers, because I have similar problems at public &
school sites where others are not experiencing problems. IIRC, when I
had Linux on the laptop, I did not experience this problem, but that
may not be the case.
