Hope that you get a more useful response.... FWIW, I Had precisely these
symptoms on my Sony 2200 laptop - and can't tell you why - but it is rock
sold now. I think there were two things going on:
1. This might be a "kill" switch? Some of my problems were certainly due
to the kill switch. I finally noticed that the little wireless LEDs were
off. I had turned them off while using the windows OS - given that it is
susceptable to the wonderful new driver attacks - and had failed to turn
it on when booting up hardened Linux (which I believe is NOT susectable to
the driver buffer overflows).
2. I also suggest a step by step walk-through of the following page (check
your kernel config).

P.S. Contrary to their suggestion, I emerged the latest driver/firmware
from portage.
Newbie. (HTH; good luck.)

I am having a very irritating problem with the wireless driver and card
above. Sometimes, but not all the times, it gets into this phase where
the wireless drops, comes back, drops, comes back (etc) and eventually I
start seeing this in kernel logs:
