I keep losing my wireless connection to my home network and the internet. After the PC starts up, the connection works fine for a while, but invariably, the connection gets lost (varies from ~2-24 hrs after bootup). Once I lose the connection, I can't SSH into the box any longer and have to reboot. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot as I can't access the box when the connection disappears.

I know enough to get around Linux, but I have no idea how to begin to troubleshoot this. What log files should I look at? I would greatly appreciate any general steps I should take to troubleshoot this.

Here are some hardware details:
Router: Netgear WGR614 v4
Wireless card: Netgear WG311 v3
Driver: Ndiswrapper 1.13

Thanks in advance for any help!

Do you have any other PC's wirelessly connected and do they experience the same issue?

NEED MORE HARD DRIVE

Yes, I have a Windows PC in the same room wirelessly connected using the same model of wireless card, and it works fine.

Suggest checking the system logs for any messages around the time it drops out:
