Hi Oz, I'm a newb at this stuff but I had a similar problem, in that
everytime I booted up, my wireless connection would give me no signal,
but changing from one channel (eg from 6 to 5) to the next one down
solved it, the next time I booted up I'd have to change the channel
back up by one (so from 5 to 6). Couldn't sort it out.
I am using XP home's driver for my card and they problem seemed to get
sorted out with an update from Microsoft. Can't remember which one.
But since then it's stayed steady.
