I've updated the firmware now and it's still dropping out. There are two laptops the same in the house. The other doesn't suffer these connection drops. It's only been happening since I went to XP SP3. I've heard of other people suffering wireless issues since going to SP3. Apparently there were some changes which do affect wireless...
I might go back to SP2 as I can't find any fix other than rebooting. Tried restarting numerous services, nothing... just won't reconnect. All other devices work fine with the router. This is what it says in Event Viewer:
"The system detected that network adapter PRISM...Wireless Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport was disconnected from the network, and the adapter's network configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers."
