OK, so I'm playing with getting wireless working on a desktop machine using a Netgear WG111 USB dongle.
ifup wlan0
iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyWLAN"
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpasupplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
All that appears to work fine. iwconfig says that it's associated and dhcpcd obtains an appropriate lease for my network (192.168.31.29/27), routing and nameservers are set correctly.
It even seems correct to the point that I can ping my gateway / dhcp server, but only 5 pings are sent, then the whole connection dies and I have to ifdown wlan0, killall dhcpcd etc and start from ifup.
Am I doing something wrong or is the Netgear dongle just dodgey?

you can use the flags -nd (rebind + debug) for dhcpcd to assure you get another connection.

I've long since given up on this project, but hopefully it might help someone else in future
