Of course the real issue is why in looses the connection. I presume you have suspend disabled? Have you tried a different channel? One of my neighbors is on a close channel and things got better when I changed my AP to an unused channel. iwlist is a great help here. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Wifi#Disable_power_management suggests that power management caused problems. You might try this too. Please let us know what works and what doesn't. Better yet add it to the wiki.
