I have a Toshiba Satellite (1115-S123) and I'm using a Microsoft 802.11b
PCMCIA card (MN-520 - Prism2). From time to time the wireless will drop,
my wlan0 meter in gkrellm will show 0% signal and I'll get one of three
errors in /var/log/messages
Feb 7 11:53:43 slacker kernel: prism2sta_mlmerequest: Failed to read
wlan0 statistics: error=-61
Feb 7 11:54:14 slacker last message repeated 92 times
Feb 7 11:54:24 slacker last message repeated 31 times
When this happens sometimes I still have a connection, just none of my
tools installed (gnome wireless panel monitor, wlanmeter, or gkrellm
with wifi) can pull a signal. I get NA or 0%

Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? It's a real pain in a rear
to always have to either restart wlan0 or unplug/replug in the router (I
have two different 802.11b WAPs - happens with both)
