</I>&gt;<i>     Is it a DCHP issue? If you use a fixed IP address does the problem
</I>&gt;<i>     go away? I used to have real issues with Mandriva a few years ago
</I>&gt;<i>     until I changed the DHCP client in the network setup. Might be
</I>&gt;<i>     worth a try - might be talking ********!
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Nope, still would not work. And still, it has been working fine for 
</I>&gt;<i> one week before he did me this again without needing a fixed IP.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Note that I can connect to other wireless hotspots, opened or close, 
</I>&gt;<i> but not the only one I need to. And my ids are supposed to be all 
</I>&gt;<i> good. And it is the only hotspot where he mixes up config files, 
</I>&gt;<i> sometimes telling me it is open while there is an Enteprise WPA2 key.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> He also keeps my ids instead of deleting them even if I delete the 
</I>&gt;<i> wireless connection to create it again.
</I>
I use drakx-net as well, but it seems different hardware.
I don't know if this will help any, but when I download DVDs using a 
wireless hotspot, moving my portable only 20 cm can make a big 
difference in whether I get a reliable connexion, and even 10 cm can 
make a big difference in download speed.  The orientaion of my portable 
makes a difference as well.
(I use aria2 which gives me feedback once a minute.)
The strength of the signals vary on different days as well.

In the past (under mdv) I've noticed that in the presence of several 
signals, with an unwanted stronger than a wanted signal, it can 
sometimes be difficult to make the wanted connexion.

So maybe you can try moving/ re-orienting your computer to get a better 
signal.
BTW, are you monitoring the signals when you connect ?  That could help 
orient the computer.
