I have a Netgear WG311T in the router and also the desktop that is having trouble. I have a Netgear WG511T in my laptop. They all use the madwifi driver. The laptop connects perfectly every time, and the desktop used to connect perfectly but has slowly become less and less reliable until now it rarely connects. The laptop and desktop are both about 12 feet from the router. I'm in an apartment, but it doesn't seem like interference could be the problem since the laptop connects perfectly every time. Can anyone recommend anything to check in software? Does this sound like a hardware problem? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
