I used a basic config as you suggested and I was able to connect for
much longer, however my Macbook eventually disconnected. This is the
config I used.
hostname.ral0

up media autoselect mode 11g mediaopt hostap \
nwid MYNWID chan 7
I'm wondering if it's a power issue with the net4501? Do you know of a
