(Get the code!)
I use ubuntu 7.10 with a 2915abg card on a Dell latitude. Wireless works most of the time except when many neighbours use their routers as well. (Most of my neighbours use their wifi infrequently only.)
So when there are more than, say, 3 or 4 other routers sending I get a very flaky connection. It drops often and sometimes doesn't reconnect. I'm on channel 1 and the others are on channels 6 and 11. So interference doesn't seem to be a problem.
Usually it helps when I switch from roaming mode to manual configuration, but not always. I haven't tried the step-by-step iwconfig approach above yet. So far, in some cases I had to reboot into windows, connect there (this works always), reboot linux and manually config the card through the nm-applet. This is unfortunately no joke.
Oh, I use a DI-524 configured with WEP2-PSK(AES).
