Possibly, but for reference, my Edimax EW-7811Un has been running for 37 hours. 
During that time, I have had no deauthentications and only 2 instances of the 
"AP lost" reconnections. The latter is what I am currently trying to fix, but at 
that error rate, it is difficult. I am running the latest 3.11 kernel from 
wireless testing.

The only thing I am doing that is unusual is that I am pinging my router at a 5 
second interval using the command

ping -i5 192.168.1.1

It is possible that I am preventing a power save operation, which is making a 
difference.
