You might also try changing channels. My system used to fail in a similar fashion. When I changed from channel 1 to 3, it started working. It turns out that a rogue and broken system is blasting all over the spectrum here. It did not show up with scans; however, kismet sees it. I also see APs on channels 6 and 11.
