[ltp] wireless stability

[João Miguel Pais]

by the way, something which just came up (don't know if related to  
thinkpads):

it seems to be an incompatibility between several programs acessing the  
internet (wireless in my case). concretely between my browser, Opera, and  
Synaptic (breezy). If I use them separately, they work fine as possible.  
If I try to browse while updating something, the internet won't be anymore  
accessible, even though the signal quality etc. remains the same. it only  
works after a bootup.

any ideas?
