I don't have any experience with that card itself, but have you verified 
if the problem is in your laptop wireless card and not your wireless 
router?  By that I mean, have you set up roaming and seen if you can can 
connect to other AP's (open APs') without this problem? 

There is some flakiness with the connection between my Broadcom chip and 
my Netgear router, but I'm convinced the problem is in the router, not 
my chip, as I do not have the problem I have with my router with any 
other AP.
