sporadic connectivity

[Brien Dieterle]

Pretty likely it is the dongle/drivers/etc.  Instead of getting a wireless
card, you might consider just getting an external wifi router and
configuring it for client mode.  Then you can just plug several devices
into the router and not worry about wifi drivers at all.
