I use drakx-net as well, but it seems different hardware.
I don't know if this will help any, but when I download DVDs using a
wireless hotspot, moving my portable only 20 cm can make a big
difference in whether I get a reliable connexion, and even 10 cm can
make a big difference in download speed. The orientaion of my portable
makes a difference as well.
(I use aria2 which gives me feedback once a minute.)
The strength of the signals vary on different days as well.
In the past (under mdv) I've noticed that in the presence of several
signals, with an unwanted stronger than a wanted signal, it can
sometimes be difficult to make the wanted connexion.
So maybe you can try moving/ re-orienting your computer to get a better
signal.
BTW, are you monitoring the signals when you connect ? That could help
orient the computer.
