Topic: Silly Wi-Fi issues. >_>

Hey everyone, this is really starting to bug me, and has actually followed me from distro to distro.

My chip is called:
Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000

(Found using 'lspci' command).

Every so often, it drops out. It says it's connected, but the ammount of data up and down slips away to nothing.

My home router is a NetGear Wireless-N 150 ADSL2+. Model DGN1000

My issue seems more frequent with this router than any other. Also, it comes and goes, like, it will decide to not like me and keep on dropping out every 30 seconds or so, and some times it plays nice and keeps the connection.

I'm really sorry for this lengthy post, I'm just really pushed by this problem. <_<

Did some Googling around and found that this was a known issue with Intel, and they set up a space online to work with it. They then fixed it and added it to the kernel at some point (and I have a later version of).

Can anyone help me out here? Please? It's really annoying me. >_<

I've always assumed that it was the Debian derivatives that didn't like the router. Is this the case? Or is it the Kernel and the chip?

Any support on this is greatly appreciated!!!!

If I make people laugh, that makes me pleasant, right?

What if I make people laugh about unpleasant things?
