If restarting the card allows it to reconnect when it gets into the

errors somewhere (in the driver maybe) due to the poor connection that
eventually cause a failure. Increasing the signal by moving the wifi
access point as suggested may help mask that. One other thing you can
do is do a modprobe -r on the kernel module for your device and then a
modprobe to load it again. If it's a problem in the driver triggered
by connection errors then that may clear it.
Thanks for the response.
I suspect from the entries in /var/log/messages that the problem is
with the kernel module.
In any case I'll add modprobe -r (which I assume is the same as rmmod ?)
to the remedies I'll try if and when the problem recurs.
