I get basically this same behavior with all my wireless cards if their
access point is powered off or rebooted. Therefore I do not buy
your conclusion that the problem is necessarily hardware. Still sounds
like your DSL connection is simply being dropped.

Sorry, don't know how to test this unless you either replace the PCI card
with an external modem or unless the PCI card has some feature in the
driver for logging events so you can diagnose this.

I'd guess it's your dsl connection being dropped. I see my DSL
connection dropped quite often by my ISP (not 3 times a day, but often
enuf. I use the RASPPPOE driver btw.
