Hi Nils,

I am using WPA/WPA2, as for the driver I am not sure which one I have or 
it is using...

Also I will check my /var/log/syslog & messages, but right now I am 
going back and forth between the hospital, for a man who has cancer...So 
when I get the time I will do more checking on what the problem maybe 
here...

It is very strange, because it has always worked just fine, and have 
never dropped out, also it does not try to reconnect either...

Thanks for the reply...
