I see its been a while since you posted this, but since I have a same, or
similar, problem I want to add my 2 cents as to what I have to do to fix it
and the ask for assistance as well.
I connect just fine, but to stay connected I have to uncheck the box that
tells the system to "Use Windows to configure my wireless nettework
settings." in the Wireless Network window. Once I uncheck this box I stay
connected as long as my computer is running. Then, of course, I have to
remember to check this box before I shut down or I won't automatically
connect the next time I start up.
I hope this helps a bit, but if anybody can tell me how I can avoid having
to uncheck/check the box all the time I would really appreciate it.
