[driverloader] Lost Connection Netgear WG311T

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

do you have an error message in the output of the 'dmesg' command in a 
root shell just after you experience the problem?

Please try with different Windows XP driver to see if there is a 
difference. You could also try to upgrade the firmware of the access point.

Regards,
