I had the same problem and I tried everything on this site and many other sites but it did not work.Here's my situation.I have netgear FWG114P with WPA-PSK enabled.My connection used to work fine everytime i reset the WiFi button but would drop every few seconds and would refuse to connect until another reset.I tried connecting to a WiFi without any security and it worked.I was scrathing my head to figure out why because my other laptop was perfectly fine with the same settings.Finally I added this MAC to static ip route and then tried Eureka!! it works now!! and connection did not drop.For the life of me I could not figure out why this was not working with DHCP.Anyway one more fix you can try. Good luck.
