Hi Everyone,
This in my first post on the Arch Linux forums, though I've been using Arch for a couple years (and a few other distros before that, but Arch is the best I've found!).
I just got a Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T61 with an Intel 4965AGN wireless card, and I have it set up using ndiswrapper and the netw4x32 driver (downloaded from Intel). I boot the computer with no network profile. Once I'm booted into KDE, I start wireless using netcfg in konsole. It works fine, but after about five minutes, my wireless stops working. I still have the IP address in `ifconfig` and I'm still configured for the router in `iwconfig`. If I stop wireless using netcfg and start it again, and it stays on fine. That is, it only stops after about five minutes if it's the first netcfg after boot.
My config in /etc/network-profiles/ is fine because I used the same one on my T30. So, it shouldn't be a router problem.
*** Here's some information that may be helpful ***
When I start wireless, I get this is /var/log/everything.log (regardless of first netcfg or not):

Thanks for any help! Have a nice day.
