I had this same problem with my Dell XPS. Chances are you computer has the same problem. If you haven't fixed it yet I have some problem solvers for you.
1. You're not running the latest drivers. (Easy installation)
2. It may not be your WLAN Card at all. It could be that your laptop is overheating and your computer responds to save your motherboard from overheating. Your card might just stop working because of this.
Where is your laptop located? On a desk or some sort of flat surface?
Do you have a fan running underneath it?

make sure your laptop doesn't have manual radio off switches and you are running latest version of drivers

Where do I find the wireless radio to turn it on for the Dell Ispiron 2200?
Also check if you are running firewall software on your laptop - if so, turn it off and see if that helps things.
My wireless problem is that it takes about 3 connect/disconnect attempts manually to find the wireless router sitting 5 ft away. I tethered with my iPhone and it works fine on the first try - so I'm pretty sure its my drivers. I'm running windows 7.
Problem is - it won't let me update the drivers. I tried through Dell, and through the device drivers update screen with the same result - a message saying something about unable to update drivers try troubleshooting. Any ideas?
