I tested this device:

$ sudo lsusb -d 0846:4260
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:4260 NetGear, Inc. WG111(v3) 54 Mbps Wireless 
[RealTek RTL8187B]

against:
 *  ubuntu 2.6.32-26-generic
 *  
http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp215802/linux-image-2.6.32-28-generic_2.6.32-28.55+LP215802v1_i386.deb
 (md5sum 3578ab4e4757ea2c5f53b3d43fa75c78).

With 2.6.32-26-generic, the device fell over after about an hour, with
  Jan 15 00:25:14 ubuntu kernel: [279647.500012] No probe response from AP 
<redacted> after 500ms, disconnecting.

The signal strength was pretty good, -38db, link quality 70/70.

With the test kernel, the device has been solidly up for nearly 24h.
Signal strength similar, -38db +/- a few db, quality 65/70.

Looks like this fixes it for me.
