wrt54g wireless connection drops firmware 4.20.7

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I have an XP laptop (SP2). Using a linksys PCMIA 54G wireless unit. Im up to date on my router and apparently my PCMIA driver. I have all my updates current on my XP box.

My connection drops every now and then, doesnt seem to be a consistant time interval. Sometimes its up for nearly a day, maybe slightly less. Sometimes its drops only after a couple hours or so. Both the router and the laptop are located in exactly the same position for months now. Im using encryption as well.

Any suggestions or others with same problem?

Hopefully this is linksys's problem and they will have a fix in the driver(s) soon.

Suggestions to try:

- check the laptop power mgmt settings

- check the settings of the PC Card - some cards can be set to go into a low power mode when idle, to save battery power

- try different channels, reception can be very quirky
