So, as far as the access point goes, it seems the client disassociates
itself, then associates again.
The PC seems think that the access point has gone away, and
disconnects.
Strange.
When your system thinks the AP has gone away, do any other associated
clients believe this, as well? Do you see this behavior if one of them
does large amounts of traffic?
Interestingly, no. The laptop didn't either under the Windows 7 drivers.
It just seems under linux now, it drops out.
What is driving me insane is that work has a WRT54GL router running
dd-wrt and that *doesn't* drop out. I have a WRT54GS running dd-wrt and
it does.
I've been trying different versions of dd-wrt at home - thinking maybe
that is where the issue lies - but as yet, I haven't managed to track it
down.
As a data point here, I'm going to try installing Fedora 18 (urrgh) to
see if it still drops out. Don't worry, I'll be back - but I need more
info ;)
Ok - so now I am completely confused. Fedora 18 was up for 2 hours, not
a single wifi dropout.
The output of 'iw event -t' shows:

Not a single drop... One thing I noticed is that I think the 'unknown
event' in the SL wireless output is the connection quality notice above.
So. Where to go from here?
Fedora 18:
kernel-3.8.2-206
wireless-tools-29-8.1
SL6.4
kernel-3.8.2 (from elrepo)
wireless-tools-29-5.1.1
Pat: Any ideas? Now I'm stumped unless I file a bug upstream? As its not
a EL kernel though, they may just tell me to go away. Yet my bug remains
about the EEEPC module on the stock x86_64 kernels. *sigh*
