What encryption are you using? If WPA (which you should be) then how do you start wpa_supplicant ?
I've had issues with wpa_supplicant where it doesn't hand off from one access point to another for minutes, or doesn't change from work to home or back reliably. And the stupid MS DHCP server at work that only allows one lease value for all reservations :-\ -----Original Message----- From: Steve Holdoway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 15 September 2005 10:09 a.m. To: linux-users@it.canterbury.ac.nz Subject: Re: Intel 2200bg dropping connection ( was Re: wireless laptop card advice) I set this up a while ago, but it's working and solid. I'm using ipw-firmware version 2.3, software version ipw2200-1.0.4, and wireless tools version 28.

Installed on debian, so the config files shouldn't be too different. Sounds like your hardware might be suspect?
