I received my spanking new SB3 shortly after Thanksgiving and have
enjoyed it a lot.  I got it configured properly and even have my old
series 1 Tivo connected through it so as to do away with an annoying
network cable that my wife regularly tripped over.

Today, unfortunately, that changed.  While it can talk to the wireless
access point just fine, it's having a lot of trouble keeping a
continuous link going, to the point that it drops the connection to the
Slimserver.  Running a continuous ping, I see serious packet loss:

--- squeeze.exit.com ping statistics ---
3488 packets transmitted, 1169 packets received, 66% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.009/19.680/14871.431/435.113 ms

Only about a third of the packets are getting through.  Interestingly,
if I do a hard reset it picks up and starts to work fine, but shortly
starts dropping packets again.  It looks like communication to the Tivo
behind it also drops packets, so it must be something in the little
protocol stack on the SB3 itself, but I have no idea as to what it
might be.  I've been watching it as I write this, as it keeps losing
and regaining the connection.

I do have a 2.4GHz phone about, but as I said it doesn't seem to have
anything to do with the wireless connectivity as far as I can see. 
According to the AP, the signal stays near 100% pretty much constantly,
which makes sense as the SB3 is only about eight feet from the AP
(albeit through a wall and a thin piece of particle board).

Any hints would be appreciated; if I can provide any more information I
would be happy to do so.
