Problems with wireless network on my XPS M1710 Notebook

Hello!
 
I'm having some problems with my Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection on my XPS notebook. When I start up the computer it works fine and everything seems to be normal, but when I use more bandwidth, like for example downloading files, playing games online and such then the connection stops working after a while and I can't get on again. Have tried to repair the wireless connection and it gets deactivated but fails when it tries to activate it again. It's impossible to get it work again and the only thing I can do to get online again is to reboot the entire computer. Then it works again, until I try downloading or playing again. So it's useless, can't use the wireless service because I have to reboot every 10th minute.
 
What can cause this problem? Is my hardware broke in some way? I have no problems at all when using the normal network card with a network cable. Then everything works fine, the problems only occur when using the wireless connection.
 
Here's some system information if it'll help:
XPS M1710
Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
intel (R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7400 @ 2.16Ghz
994MHz, 2,00 GB RAM
GeForce Go 7900 GTX, 512Mb

You don't give us the essential information of which version of Windows you are running.  If it is Windows Vista, downloaded the latest drivers as posted in the message listed at the top of this forum.

I downloaded the drivers and it seems it solved the problem. So far it has worked and not crashed since I installed them and I have tried both downloading files and playing online to test the wireless network. Thank you for the help =) If new problems will come up I'll post again, but hopefully that will be it. // Bertil Jeppsson
