No, unfortunately not. I only have this one laptop. I do have a athereos one in my bedroom in a desktop and it doesn't display the same rate of dropping out - and dladm states that the reception is poor. Soomething is going wrong when a poor signal is maintaining a conneciton whilst this laptop classes the signal as excellent - the reception keeps falling out of the sky.
