I've had similar quirkiness with a couple of Orinoco gold cards. I'd setup netstumbler to... umm... stumble, but after a few minutes, it'd detect no signals from any APs around me (and I have a *bunch*). It's as if I had disconnected the internal antenna from the receiver. More strange -- I'd reboot the machine, and it still wouldn't detect any signals. I'd wait a few hours, and it was fine again. This was with two different cards; no excessive heat or other anomalies were noticed. I never did figure out exactly what was going on; I ended up putting it aside for a while, and never got back to it. Very strange stuff.
