You might want to check the kernel messages when your wifi stops working. You can do that with the "dmesg" command in xterm.
If it says something about "beacon loss" and "sending hi signal, sending low signal" you might be able to fix it whit disabling the power saving feature on that connection (settings, internet connections, connections, your WLAN)
Power is at the maximum
Wlan transmission power: 100mW
power saving: on(maximum)

I try to connect to a wifi access point from my nokia n900 and here is what happens
1. IT gets connected but am not able to browse any websites - says server not found
2. Tried connecting my laptop to the same internet connection and it works well ! ! !
How to proceed ?

For my home connection.Strange how it worked without switching it off for other wifi connections !
any idea why this difference ?

leave secondary DNS blank.primary dns is same as gateway that is 192.168.1.1 .
I always disable DHCP in my private network and set adresses of the
machines manually.
Machine 1 ... 192.168.1.10
Machine 2 ... 192.168.1.11
N900... 192.168.1.12
Access Point = Gateway = 192.168.1.1
and so on.
Worked all the time.
Even with N900 as "just another machine in the network".

People thank you everybody for the support. . .
The problem is solved - it was the power saving mode. I switched it off and it got connected !
However for connecting to few other wifi access points its not required to disable power saving mode to connect - i wonder why ! ?
