You're welcome...
I wonder if your son's card was drowing out yours and if it couldn't see
yours.
I've been doing a bit of back ground reading on this. Simon Knight
provided me with a really good paper from WAND about the issue of peers
not hearing other peers so miss behaving.
In other words...
A<----->AP<-->B
"A" is 5 '-' from the AP but 7 '-' from B.
"B" can't hear "A" transmit, even thou the AP can.
The result is that everything gets our of sync.
This type of problem happens in networks like yobbo.
This is my understanding anyway, it's an interesting discussion issue
and I'm sure I still don't understand it properly my self yet.
Have you been following the discussion on NZNog about sunlight and WiFi?
Glad to hear things are working better for you thou.
Cheers Don

Also what sig stregnth are you getting in iwconfig?
Well I got to thinking what had changed since my son had been happily using
this hardware with Win2k.
Obviously I had changed to Linux but the other change was that Brent was in
the next room to the access point and I was further away.
I shifted the access point closer to the living room and now iwconfig shows:-
Link Quality=92/100 Signal level=60/100 Noise level=0/100
(Link Quality was less than 50/100 before)
Now things seem fine.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Rob
