I am using Hardy Heron on a laptop manufactured by a Philipino company "Neo". The wifi adapter is "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ". It was working fine as long as I used Windows xp that came pre-installed with it. But after installing Ubuntu, I notice that the signal strength keeps dropping to 0, and eventually getting disconnected. Internet has become "unbrowseable" as a result.
Output of iwconfig:

A screenshot of Network Tools shows there are too many reception errors:
Can someone tell me why is Ubuntu getting very low signal and getting disconnected every few minutes? The same laptop was working great with Windows XP before
