Hi Dave,
I think a similar problem was discussed by some group members some weeks ago.
I rememberd the key-word irqtune and now I only quote the related email.
Hope this will fix.

You might try this little bit.
http://www.best.com/~cae/irqtune/
I have tried it, and I get more throughput for
sure. hard to say if it helps stay connected/....
It changes the irq priority so that the machine
gives more juice to it. Dont know , but it's worth
a try. Might be something else
wrong in your scripts...
