The higher the SNR the more interference there is. It seems funny that they should put the antenna wire right next to the side of the TFT just where millions of noisy transistors are switching on and off !

One of the wierd things is that mine worked for just under a week without any problems, then all of a sudden it started dropping the connection at random intervals every couple of minutes. I noticed the longer the uptime, the more frequent the intervals. Maybe something is overheating?

I notice yours is a dell though SMHarman, stuartbe may have a point since punky is using a HP and mine is a compaq (Now owned by HP), also thinking about it, most of the laptops I have seen mentioned on google as suffering with this problem are either HP or Compaq.
Maybe its an Antenna positioning problem or something mor complicated like Firmware issues, or driver conflicts (Like I noticed mine shares the same IRQ as my Graphics card, sureley that can't be good?)
