I had similar problems on a windows machine and found that there was another 802.11b wifi network just within range to cause windows to sense the other network, disconnect the current network connection and request that I select between the other network and the one that I was originally connected to. To rectify the problem, I first tried to configure windows to only connect to my preferred network, but that did not work. Then I disabled QOS on that NIC. The combination of those two changes eliminated the problem. Not sure if a similar approach will work on linux, but it might be worth a try. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amol Modi <amolmodi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, February 2, 2004 8:37 pm Subject: Continually losing wireless connection > I've got a Linksys WPC11 Version 3 PCMCIA Wireless Ethernet card > runningon RH9 using the orinoco_cs driver.
