Interesting, but it's not what's happening here. There are other
wireless devices (two Tivo's, two iPhones, and a couple of laptops) that
are happyily networking. The problem seems to be soley on this one
computer. And large files seem to be OK.. I ran "preupgrade" over the
wireless connection without problems.
