Granted, the internet connection here is flaky and would drop out in windows, but it would automatically reconnect 30 seconds later - now I have to turn off the connection and turn in back on to get it to work again.

Any suggestions for a fix?

Yeah, not going to close this noob section any time soon...
If you update your drivers, does that help?

Have you checked your wireless card manufacturer to see if they have any Linux drivers?

have you considered flipping the script and flashing your router with DD-WRT? I had a router that had flaky firmware and DD-WRT stabilized my wireless connections.

Or even more simple, just wiring up this computer?
