Hey guys,

I'm at a total loss here. My wireless just won't stay solid and it's driving me crazy.

Here are the specs:

IBM Thinkpad X31
Windows XP Pro
Lucent Orinoco PCMCIA card (not proxim)

I am not having the same issues with my onboard wireless but that won't work with netstumbler or Linux/Kismet. I even tried a second Orinoco card to make sure that wasn't the problem.

I can't seem to find better drivers than the default Orinoco drivers that come with XP. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device several times. Anyone know where I can locate some?

I'll lose packets on regular intervals, and will disconnect from my wireless network every 15-30 minutes briefly.
Aside from finding better drivers, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm falling flat here and it's pissing me off.

Also, if anyone can recommend a better wireless network manager than the one that comes with XP, I'd love some ideas.

Thanks,
Jen
