Yeah.  That's exactly the same sort of thing I was seeing, which  
clearing the essid seems to help with most of the time.  I  
occasionally find the wifi just stops working completely for no  
apparent reason, ping and all other traffic fails but it otherwise  
seems normal from the iwconfig and ifconfig output.  Other times I  
get pages and pages of this rapidly flooded in dmesg:

AR6000 disconnected from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX AR6000 disconnected from

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX AR6000 disconnected from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX AR6000  
disconnected from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

without any line breaks and where the XX is the access point  
address.  The only thing that seems to fix it when it does that is to  
reboot.

Cheers,

Alex
