Well, I have something even stranger here... After days of trying 
different things, reinstalling, resetting the access point and whatnot, 
now I cannot make the wifi drop out anymore.

I don't quite understand what happened... I loaded F18 onto the system 
and left it going for a while to test. Zero dropouts. I went back to 
SL6.4 Beta 2, and since then, no dropouts.

As I type this, the system has been up for 3h 15m, and not a single drop 
on wifi.

Why? I have no idea. What caused it? I have no idea. What changed? I 
have no idea.

I'm using the same SL6.4B2 that I installed previously. I'm using the 
same kernel that I was before. I'm doing the same traffic as I was before.

Either way, the dropouts seem to be fixed.

Pat: If you have the same issue, out of interest, try loading Fedora 18 
- see if it still drops out - if not, reload SL and see if it still 
drops out. I would be amazed if that did something that caused the 
problem to go away...
