Are you running a driver version of at least 9.x.x.x with the Centrino?

The 9.x versions were released October 2004 but their site isn't the easiest
in the world to navigate. Try this URL:
http://www.intel.com/support/wirel [...] 010623.htm

Alternately, the OEM for your laptop may have updated drivers on their
website. Give an updated driver a shot. The behavior you are describing
should be fixed in the latest Centrino driver.

What security methods are you using for the wireless connection? Do you
know the firmware version on the access point?
