I'm currently having a problem with my wireless connection. It regularly drops (roughly ever half hour or so) before (more or less) instantly reconnecting. I'm running a Windows XP SP3 system, with an Atheros Wireless Network Adapter and a ZyXEL router. I believe the problem lies somewhere at my end because my connection is fine when cabled up the router and my two housemates have no issue with their wireless connection at all.
In addition I recently had to reformat my hard-drive and re-install XP from scratch, which led to me having to track down all the hardware drivers from my laptop manufacturer (Samsung). So I've been having teething problems for the last week because of it, but things mostly seem ironed out now apart from the wireless issues.
I checked the system log and I get the following warning messages around the disconnects:

If anyone could offer me any advice, I'd really appreciate it. It's becoming fairly frustrating! Also apologies if this issues has been answered elsewhere on the forum.
Thanks.
