[PLUG] Strange wireless trouble...

[someone]

I'm running Slackware 13.0, fresh install.

My wireless card is an Alvarion PC DS11.b connected to the computer  
via a PLX adapter ( a pcmcia adapter ).  I notice at boot a search for  
agere something firmware.  I'm also noticing if I don't continuously  
broadcast ping that I lose connectivity.  The original wireless card  
is an SMC variety and it's junk as far as I can tell.

The signal strength seems to vary a lot along with the speed.  With  
dhclient I am getting a network is down cannot receive packet error.   
Sometimes after that though, I do have connectivity.
