I am having the same problem with my laptop (sony, win 7, atheros9287 wireless, marvell yukon 88E8057 pci-e gigabit). After trying for countless hours on my own and even more with sony, I've come to the conclusion it must be win 7. Because I have 2 comp. on xp, 2 on vista, xbox, wii & tivo all are running flawlessly. I am using linksys routers wrt54gl, on dd-wrt I know this is an old thread, but I just started doing a little research and see I am not the only one. Please if anyone can help, this is driving me crazzzy, I have a brand new laptop that's severely crippled. thanks chris
