Comment (by khassounah):

 We are seeing this in Libya. It is happening in 3 out of 4 machines
 repeatidly. You connect, see other machines in mesh view, browse and then
 you loose your connection.

 In some cases we were iwconfiging, but in many cases, we just verified the
 connection works and left the machine, and it disconnects after 5 minutes.
 On two of those machines, it refuses to reconnect, except if we turn off
 the machine for few minutes.

 The room is not warm (I would say 20-25 celsius) and the machines are
 powered. Antennas are up and the access point is sitting right next to
 them, so the signal is very strong. Build 239 on B1 machines.

 One of those laptops and my thinkpad laptop are very good at keeping the
 connection to the access point, so it is probably not an access point
 issue.

 For the record, the access point is a dlink DWL-2100AP
