Hello - before you open up the unit I would suggest checking if this is your
same issue:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/b1a1c38b18fa7f33
and ...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/376577

i'm sorry i can't offer any more advice than that, i do have occasional wifi
problems (establishing new connections) but i believe they are wpa_supplicant
related, and never any sudden d/c issues.
