Nick,
What type of card are they using. It might be a chipset issue. A
couple of years back, we had issues with the Aironets telling cards on
wireless carts around the hospital to re-associate to another AP.
The best thing to do, is to sniff the traffic in the airwaves. Or look
at the logs, if they are available, to see when that particular
client/MAC lost its connection. There you should find a brief
description as to why the connection dropped.
This is probably on of the hardest things to verify because by the time
you make it down to the location, the user is "FINE".
Thanks.
