Ok - so now I am completely confused. Fedora 18 was up for 2 hours, not
a single wifi dropout.
The output of 'iw event -t' shows:

Not a single drop... One thing I noticed is that I think the 'unknown
event' in the SL wireless output is the connection quality notice above.
So. Where to go from here?
Fedora 18:
kernel-3.8.2-206
wireless-tools-29-8.1
SL6.4
kernel-3.8.2 (from elrepo)
wireless-tools-29-5.1.1
Pat: Any ideas? Now I'm stumped unless I file a bug upstream? As its not
a EL kernel though, they may just tell me to go away. Yet my bug remains
about the EEEPC module on the stock x86_64 kernels. *sigh*
