The setup I have is one router(netgear cheap but
works)
with macbook pro, imac, and an iphone. I guess I'm an
apple groupie, minus the OS!!
(two dells also, that I'm going to bring back from the
dead when I get a chance).

With 2.6.29-rc8 I've noticed this twice
the first time about a month ago.
basically I turned on the macbook
had the radio streaming, as well as T.V.
then a few seconds later all connections
died on the macbook, then after freaking
out I decided to reset the router, but still
system runs(macbook) and then everything
dies. Then freaking out for the second time,
I decided to shut everything off of the router
except the macbook, and voila no problem streaming.
Then after about ten minuets of non interruption
I turned the iphone wireless back on, and bam
the macbook had a dead connection again.
(leaving me dazed and confused, and that's without
any liquid propulsion).
The second time with the same kernel
was about a few days ago, but this time
after resetting the router, shutting everything
off except the macbook, and then turning the
iphone back on seemed to run fine.(leading me
to believe something might be wrong with the
router).

As for 2.6.30-rc4 not sure, still need to
get the wireless running smoothly, and then
I'll go from there.
