hmm... for me it's the other way around. The problem is so severe at my work 
place wireless is practically non usable. I couldn't even complete a command 
in a command line over SSH on a remote server before connection dropped, SSH 
console freeze, get connection back, keep going type, and drop again. This 
happens basically all day today. At one point I even try sitting right under 
an access point. No noticeable change.

Curiously, as I noted in another email, it seems to works fine with my wireless 
connection at home. I don't know how to account for these differences.
