I tried the patches. They do not make a difference. Actually,
that is not surprising, because the first patch relates to 802.11n
but I am using 802.11g, and the second patch has to do with switching
networks, but I am coming up cold on this network.
I should receive some USB dongles with different chipsets tomorrow.
Hopefully one of them will be better behaved. But if there is more
data I can gather to help figure this out, I am happy to do so.
