My wireless connection is sporadically going down.

There are some odd factors though. occasionally, it'll disconnect from the network, and when I search for networks, it can't find any (which could theoretically be bad reception, but I can assure you that isn't the issue, as I could set the laptop next to the router and it wouldn't work)

Also, it occasionally drops the connection, and then, when I search for networks, it finds my home network. When I click on the router it says that it couldnt connect, and diagnostics are basically useless...to a degree. They don't really fix the problem.

All of these issues are immeadiately resolved by Hibernation or restarting the computer, but yet again, these feel like workarounds. I should also note that, although I am unsure if this has anything to do with powersaving options or not, this occurs wheather or not the laptop is plugged in. It also seems to happen most often, but not always, when I am running fullscreen online games or applications (America's Army and Second Life are two culprits that I can think of off the top).

Thank you very much for your help

PS

It's a broadcom 802.11 a/b/g
and as far as I know, it has updated drivers. I've also tried to rollback to no avail
