Hi Leela:
There seem to be "two" WiFi access points in the vicinity of
your laptop.
AP1 : 00:1b:57:c4:bf:bb
AP2 : 00:22:3f:13:70:b2
Your wireless card links up with AP1 and then after sometime it
sort of appears to be out of range and on re-scan it tries to
bind to another one.
If you want that your card should continue to use a specific
access point, please do the following:
1. login as root
2. do a radio scan
iwlist wlan0 scanning
collect the ESSID and the AP MAC.
3. ifconfig wlan0 down
4. iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID-NAME ap 00:1b:57:c4:bf:bb
5. ifconfig wlan0 up
6. dhcpcd --renew wlan0
This should make you wireless connection more predictable.
Hope this helps.
thanks
Saifi.
