Hi there, I've been having some really odd problems with the wifi on my wii.
I'm using debian lenny with the whiite isobel kernel, and while my wireless
connects fine, it seems to progressively die over the course of about 2-5
minutes. When i first boot it up, it works fine. I can ssh in and it works
normally, with no significant delay. But after a couple of minutes, ssh
starts getting laggy (i type something and it takes a few seconds to
respond) before eventually freezing altogether. At this point it stops
responding to pings too. This happened when it was literally a metre away
for the access point. Oddly enough, when i moved it about 15 metres away, it
worked for longer before the wireless locked up, but it still happened
eventually. I thought it could be some sort of memory issue, with the wii
only having 64MB RAM, so I plugged a flash drive into the usb port with a
swap partition and swapon'ed it. Didn't help though. Wifi's fairly critical
to my application, since I was hoping to plug a hard drive into the USB port
and use it as a NAS sort of thing.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or know where I can start with resolving
it?

Thanks for your time, and for all the great work the developers have done so
far with porting linux to this console :)
