The other computer in our household... I mean, one of the other computers in our household is a Lenovo z51t (a very sweet little laptop). It has built in wireless via Intel 3945 a/b/g. For the last couple of weeks, it has frequently dropped off the wireless network, causing much annoyance and headache. 
After my last experience with Vista and networking, I went straight to the driver. When using Vista to check for an updated driver, no joy. When searching on the Internets to find one, joy.

After a download and install of the drivers, the z51t is back on the network and the signal strength appears better (it was listed as 'good' even though the laptop was about 5 feet from the wireless router). It's too early to declare success, but this is looking good.
