My wireless router is a Zyxel P-330W. More than 6 hours after reboot of
the router, the madwifi driver can no longer connect to the wireless
router. If the router is rebooted then the driver can connect. This
problem is not present with my other wireless card.

Description: modules for the eeepc Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi
(kernel 2.6.24-1-686)
This package contains the set of loadable kernel modules for the Atheros
based WiFi chip in the eeepc.
.
This package contains the compiled kernel modules for 2.6.24-1-686
.
If you have compiled your own kernel, you will most likely need to build
your own madwifi-modules. The madwifi-eeepc-source package has been
provided for use with the Debian's module-assistant or kernel-package
utilities to produce a version of madwifi-eeepc-module for your kernel.

When the connection is not working iwconfig reports the card is not
associated with an access point. But after reboot of the router the
iwconfig reports that it is associated with the ap. Both before and after
the reboot it is possible to scan the network and see my wireless router.
Are there any other commands I can run to provide further diagnostic
information?
