Well, the appropriate output from dmesg would help. It's possible that it's an interrupt problem, but we haven't seen too many of them lately. If you're showing up as wi0 (presumably), then probably it's not an interrupt issue. Do you have the other settings set up correctly? ifconfig output and information about your wireless infrastructure would help.
