I'm using D-link DWL-650 cards and a Proxim 8550 WAP.  Works great when I
start it, for about 3-4 minutes.  Then the laptop looses internet
connectivity.   No packets from the WAP, yet the WAP blink merrily along
with activity on the Ethernet side but not the wireless indicator.  I can
get another 3-4 minutes of connectivity by powering off and then on the
Proxim WAP.

Any idea?

Should I swap out the WAP or the D-Links first?
Could RCN be disabling communication with the Proxima WAP?
