Hey David, thanks for the notes.  I followed them, and my wireless seems 
to be a lot more reliable than it was before.  I left the machine on 
over night to see if it would still have the connection this morning, 
and it did!  One small thing on the notes: in step 6, it wasn't 
ipw2200-fw-2.3.tgz that was in the /usr/src/ folder, but 
ipw2200-source-something.tgz.  No big deal, just thought I would point 
that out for future reference.  I'm still learning the "Debianesque" 
system, so now I need to man some of those utilities used there so I can 
understand what exactly I did.  Thanks to all who have responded to this 
and other questions, I'm sure I will have more.  TriLUG is a great Linux 
community!
