There is a new STA driver on a Broadcom page: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
It would be nice to try that one. Maybe it solves everything ...

The version I have installed (through the hardware driver widget on the menu) is 5.10.79.10.
There are instructions for making? (=compiling?) a new driver that can be installed, but it is way over my head, unfortunately. I might break the whole installation.

Like I wrote earlier, I have installed the patched driver, from the deb
file, the same as Ole used. I just called it by the wrong name, a patch.

It just didn't help. The connection problem still there. The wireless
connection only stays up if I don't allow the machine to 'save power',
e.g. by blanking the screen or going to sleep.

If somebody is interested to see diagnostic output from my machine, I'm
sure I can manage to post it as long as I know which command and which
switches to use.
