Well, it looks like it's mostly my fault.  I named my network something
with two Ls, or at least it should have been two Ls... you can probably
guess the rest.

Still, it does hop once in a while, but not enough that it disrupts my
connection much.

Thanks for your help, Neill.  Your suggestion of using iwconfig led me
to find some settings I can tweak.  I'll probably try tweaking the
sensitivity and retry settings.
