Wlan link fine, can not ping router..

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have similar problem. At first I thought It was the access point, however
after doing a little investigation I have discovered that it is in fact the
Centrino Wireless. It is almost as if the connection goes to sleep, yet I
have all power management turned off. I am not sure what it is, but it is
annoying.
