Wireless drops out, then freeze

Hi,

I've been having this problem with my Inspiron 510m since I purchased it. Every once in a while (hard to predict exactly, sometimes once a week, sometimes a couple of times in a day), my laptop loses its wireless connection and I get the bubble - "Wireless connection not available".

Now I can't see this being a problem with my router because a simple reboot of the laptop restores the connection again. I also noticed just now that if I leave the laptop in the 'unconnected' state for a while, the whole system 'freezes' and I have to do a hard shutdown and reboot.

I have tried downloading the latest drivers for the Intel 2100 adapter, but it does not seem to have made any difference. Is there anything that could be conflicting with the card, as I take it this is not a common problem, as the card came with the laptop, so should work fine 'out of the box'!

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Daleep.
