I'm running a netgear wg511t pcmcia card on Ubuntu Warty and a netgear 
wireless router (recently purchased, can't recall model number).

It's worked perfectly for about 4/5 weeks, until suddenly it became 
intermittent, then died completely. At first I thought it was a config 
problem, given I know very little about wireless, but I hadn't changed 
anything so that didn't seem likely. ifconfig output looks perfectly 
normal with ath0 configured at the correct ip etc.

I powercycled the router (twice), but that made no difference. I'd just 
about given up when I took my laptop home and discovered it was picking up 
a signal from somebodies elses router! From this I assume that the problem 
is my router.

How can i tell? What simple tests can i perform to convince the nice man 
at the shop that it's not Linux causing the problem but his ugly router?

Any help greatly appreciated.

David.
