Connection to AP drops

I have a Dell Latitude D620 with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection and a Netgear AP. The connection to the AP drops every few
minutes and does a reconnect. AP Firmware and WLAN card driver are uptodate.
What can I do.

Marcel

What kind of signal strength are you getting? If you use the find option how
many other access points are showing up? How many are on the same channel as
you are? Do you have 802.1x authentication enabled?
