My internet has been "randomly blinking" I know that rev 2 of this card is noted for "timing out" but I'm not sure if this is it, it's "burpped" before but it never connected to the router in past problems.
This is the second time today.
From ifconfig with card connected

According to the data in my xterm it was connected fine to the WLAN, ifconfig looks fine to me.
Control+C'd and ran the script I use to run wpa_supplicant & switchges again.

switched to tty6 and found wpa_supplicant running twice (ps) the one I control+D'd and the one I have showed the output of. Killed them both and reran it fine.
Now every time that I've had problems with this card before, it was associated with the router but failed to auth. /W it.
Also very very strangly today ma was using he cell phone approx 2meters away from our router (Linksys WRT54G Rev5) my Desktops (wired) internet access totally "blinked" out after a good 10-15min of heavy lag while training with a recruit. I shutdown my programs and restarted with no problem (full access, no lag). Under the same conditions, I got the same output on the laptop as posted here. As far as I know a Wifi/Wired router bridges the WLAN into the LAN, and the network tool in 1.2 like Windows XP's detects 2 unsecured SSID, "linksys" which I disabled on my router, "roberts" which it auto-selects in the DBSD tool when it detects the WG511T. As well as our SSID which is secured,
Because of what happened today with my desktop, I was wondering could our neighbores be having a Cell/Wireless thing fooling with ours ? Or is this just probably a driver bug and a funny cowinkydink ?
