I am using a Compaq WL100 pcmcia card. I have Fedora Core 6 installed on
this machine so I am using the am using the hostap_cs driver that comes
with this.
I currently have the network in open mode.

I should state that I am using the phone currently without a sim card.
(The performance is a little better with the sim).
I have seen on a newsgroup someone else with the same problem with an

problem. However they found the problem was fixed with a firmware update
to the router. This meant they could use the N95 in power saving mode
without problems.

When I diabled power saving mode - the constant
association/disassociation problem appeared to stop.

I have been using the web page http://notari.tv as my test data. There
is a picture on this webpage. Using the N95 I have had about a 2% chance
of loading the picture on this page over wlan (hostapd). This page
successfully loads over GPRS. Also, my other Nokia phones N93 and E60
have no problems loading this page over wlan (hostapd).
With power saving disabled - the picture still did not load.
Thankyou.
