Im using the Lucent WaveLAN wireless NIC with an NEC MP780.

If I leave my terminal logged into a remote server for a few mins and
come back to it later I find that the session doesn't respond to any keys.

Is this a quirk of ssh, my (Orinocco) card or the WaveLAN driver?

Eventually, if I press enough keys the card will `wake up' and all the
buffered keypresses will go through at high speed ;-)

Distance to the AP doesn't seem to make any difference either (I thought it
might affect it).

Any ideas?
