I'm also getting this, random connection drops and generally intermittent wireless connectivity. I'm suspecting some interaction with power management is the issue, as I get random connection drops when running with power, but not when running from battery. I.e. the opposite of Gavindi in #86.
Also potentially of interest, sometimes my connection gets hung indefinitely, but if I run mtr to a known IP outside my network the connection starts working again and continues to do so until I kill mtr, at which point the connection hangs again.
