Re: Dlink DWL650 half working, link-Down when heavy loaded
I don't have any issues disconnecting from the wireless interface. I use a Lucent Orrinoco Silver card and a SMC access point. This is under 2.4.18 using the orrinoco_cs driver. I imagine the issue is with your cards firmware and/or the firmware of your AP
