Wireless (WUSB54Gv4) - keep losing connection

I've been having this problem for the past few weeks with my wireless connection. When I first setup Arch things were fine but I think the trouble began after installing or upgrading a package, I don't remember exactly. Currently I'm using this script to connect to wireless (haven't bothered with netcfg or anything like that)

modprobe rt2500usb
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid ddwrt
iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:12:17:f3:ef:aa
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0

Sometimes the connection lasts all day, other times it'll go offline within an hour. I think another wireless driver may be interfering but I'm really not sure.

lsmod shows this:

rt2500usb              17249  0 
rt2x00usb               7057  1 rt2500usb
rt2x00lib              28418  2 rt2500usb,rt2x00usb
mac80211              189598  2 rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
cfg80211              126930  2 rt2x00lib,mac80211
rfkill                 12510  1 cfg80211

If anyone could help me with this I'd really appreciate it, thanks in advance.
