How do I check that?

I am eager to make it work. 
I've done numerous testing - changed xorg drivers, changed kernels (even tried 
ndis), but it still does not work satisfactory.
My current situation is with 2.6.28-r5 (the latest), and wifi works until it 
stops, and then I need to reboot. I am not sure what is the pattern - it is 
definitely not X nor KDE - I am not even sure if there is a pattern to it. 
I've enabled debug flags on the b43 and ssb, but I can't make anything 
sensible out of the logs.

Please let me know if you think there is something I can do in order to help 
you find the problem. I can give you ssh access to the machine if it helps.
Or maybe I should just give up? (I hate to give up!)

Thanks!
