Well, an intermittant problem can be a real pain, and I'm not a
wireless guru - I like my cat5 cable too much :-)

If you can observe a pattern, perhaps that would jog somebody's memory
of a similar issue.
Here's some other random troubleshooting ideas.
1-  Does it happen only when heavily using the internet connection?
2- When it does happen, take a look at your system logs and see if it
says anything.
     (alt-f2,  type gksu gnome-system-monitor, input your password,
review the messages, syslog and kern.log)
3- What's your wireless setup?  hardware?  WEP/WPA/WPA2/no encryption?
