    I am having wireless card issues with my Intel 2915ABG. I am running Windows XP Professional SP2.

    So here are the problems:
    * My wireless connection seems to be fluctuating between 24.0Mbps and 54.0MBps.
    * Connection is very slow
    * I keep on getting that popup saying that I am now connected to a wireless network.
    * Connection drops and reconnects immediately (same as above)
    * Connection drops and sometimes takes a while to reconnect
    * Router disappears from Wireless Network List (Must disable/reenable and maybe reboot router to fix)

    I am using the old Acer stock drivers version 9.0.1.9 dated 10/29/2004.

    I did however find newer Intel drivers I think they are dated 4/4/2007. I installed those and same problems plus:
    * Wireless does not fluctuate as much, steady at 48.0Mbps to 54.0Mbps
    * Connection is faster
    * Connections drop more frequently
    * Takes longer to reconnect

    and its even more problematic when using Bittorrent.

    and my router is the D-Link WBR-1310 with latest firmware.
