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.

Subject: Continually losing wireless connection
I've got a Linksys WPC11 Version 3 PCMCIA Wireless Ethernet card
runningon RH9 using the orinoco_cs driver. I'm having no problem
connecting to
my network initially, but every couple of minutes or so, I lose the
connection. The redhat network configuration tool still shows the
deviceas active, but iwconfig shows:
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
Mode:Managed Channel:-160 Tx-Power=15 dBm
RTS thr:off
This is incredibly annoying, and if anyone has any idea why it
happens,I'd appreciate the help.

Try calling whoever sold you that card and make them test the
conectivity between the card and the access point. Maybe they are too
far or maybe there is a too close microwave oven :). I hate wireless
solutions. They are expensive, slow and undependable. Who would like to
buy such things?
