Hi, I've been using the b43 driver and have been getting frequent disconnects while using WPA. I noticed that this seems related to the "Power Setting" on my 2Wire router. When the power is set to full (400 mW) I get disconnected every few seconds. If I lower power setting to 50 mW I can stay connected for days at a time. I also noticed that if I am near the router I get disconnected more often than if I am farther away or in a different room. This seems to be quite the opposite of what I would expect. Can anyone think of a reason that a *better* signal would lead to more disconnects, or if there's anything I can do about it? With my home router I can just lower the transmit power setting and it works fine, but I can't do that when I am traveling or connected to someone else's access point.
