Every few hours my WiFi just plain stops working. It detects the networks, but it won't connect. Has this issue been posted before? Is there a fix, or do i have to keep rebooting everytime it doesn't work?

Are you using the madwifi driver? If so, it's a known issue, you can suspend rather than restart to bring the wireless back, slightly quicker.

Alright then, thanks... would you happen to know when it will get fixed, if ever?

You can use an early version of Madwifi more stable.
