RedHat9, Cisco Aironet 350, Vaio GRX670

I have been trying to get things working on my Vaio GRX670 with not much
success. Initially when i install RedHat my wireless card (Cisco Aironet
350 ) works but then after a few reboots it stops associating with the
access point. The problem is not AP related because i've tried on 3
different APs ( SMC, Apple, Symbol ). The card starts up fine and all of
the lights are blinking. I also installed the CIsco drivers and utility
but that doesn't work either. This is the output i get from dmesg:

I would really like to know why this is happening. As i said the card
works for a while and then seizes to associate with APs.

Thanks for the help,
Toros

PS: If anyone has a setup like mine and has gotten stuff to work i would
appreciate any help and feedback.
