Hi guys,

Am having some trouble with my newly purchased D-Link Wireless Dongle. When I plug it into my laptop, it activates and I am able to see the wireless networks.

After selecting the network and typing in my network key it connects fine, but then completely deactivates after a couple of seconds. If I continue unplugging and plugging it in, eventually one of the attempts will work and it will stay on, but that can sometimes take over 10-15 tries. The messages in the system log are:

Also, not sure if it's relevant but there is one line in the system log that keeps repeating every 10 seconds

Jul 8 10:33:40 m1dn1ght-laptop kernel: [ 617.604917] eth0: PHY reset until link up.

Any help will be much appreciated.
