I've been running a Lucid (10.04.4) LiveCD for the last few hours. Signal strength is relatively stable; it does hop around a bit but the lowest I've seen is 40% and it always shoots back up soon after to >95%. It hasn't disconnected yet."
So far so good.

I would just do what you would expect you should be able to do in day-to-day use. If it becomes problematic, please doucment this.

If 10.04 works, then we have a regression that we can further debug. If not, we can work on that too.
