    I'm getting repeated disconnects of my wireless link every two minutes
    or so, and I'm not sure how to trace the problem.

    I'm running Sarge, kernel 2.6.8.1, Netgear MA401 card. I ruled out
    interference (tried various channels). The disconnects only seem to
    happen during network inactivity (power management on the card is off
    according to iwconfig).

    The problem is annoying because every disconnect causes my laptop hard
    disk to spin up.

    Any advice would be appreciated.
