Thanks a lot for the advices. The card exhibited the intermittent 
failure upto 3-4 days,
this failure is also seen after using a wireless router locally to 
ruleout any signalling issues,
but it started working fine afterwards. I got the info that it is a 
trial version of the card, later
I have replaced with another card, no issues have been noticed with it.

Regards,
Venu.
