    Ok I did the fresh-install yesterday and I don't know if this is causing the problem or not.

    Whenever I try to receive or transfer files to my desktop (connected to the same router, same workgroup), my wireless connection drops almost immediately.

    I tested w/ another laptop(m1330) but it works flawlessly.

    I tried reinstalling the driver, reenabling the wireless device but no luck.

    What should be the problem here?

    The only thing I can suggest is doing into device manager, go into the properties of the wireless NIC, and set the power output or whatever the terminology is to high/lowest power savings.

    I will say this... i've got the Intel ABGN card in my M1530 and its been running flawless... that is... until I also added the Dell 1309 TrueMobile B/G wireless card also so I could have something that worked with OSX86. So i've got both wireless cards, and now even though i'm only using the Intel card in Windows, when I do file transfers it drops out now. I really doubt thats what you've done, but i thought i'd throw it out there. I'm removing the 1309 Broadcom card as its not that important to me. Fast reliable N speed wireless is better than a pieced together Mac OS.
