[ltp] wireless stability

[Paul RIVIER]

Hi,

I have the same problem with ipw2200, on a T42.
As far as I know the firmware does not do its job properly, hence the 
frequent "Firmware restart" in logs.

I do not know how stable it is on windowsXP as I only have linux, but 
clearly as soon as the signal is not strong, connection keeps droping 
all the time.
