Hey Liam, Ive seen some odd behaviour with Ubuntu on a Toshiba laptop, not sure what hardware, but I set the wireless connection to use a static IP and the owner says that they havent had hardly any connection drops. I think some drivers have a problem with DHCP sync with some routers. Im sorry its not very specific, but my point is, sometimes its worth trying static IP to rule out DHCP issues.
