A follow up to my comment above. I am noting that the wireless connection
periodically drops and falls back to the wired connection.

The following is found in dmesg:

wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:18:39:df:fc:29
wlan0: RX authentication from 00:18:39:df:fc:29 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:18:39:df:fc:29
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:18:39:df:fc:29 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2)
wlan0: associated
wlan0: switched to long barker preamble (BSSID=00:18:39:df:fc:29)
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: disassociate(reason=3)
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:18:39:df:fc:29 (reason=16)
wlan0: deauthenticated

A Google search shows many references to the 'reason=*' above, but I cannot
locate a description of what the reasons are.
