intermittent data transfer on wlan

Hello,
I am using a USB Linksys adapter to connect to my Linksys router on
openSUSE 10.3. I can connect to the router and the internet. My problem is
that it only transfers real data back and forth for about 10 seconds every 2
minutes. The graphs are showing a continues exchange of about 60 b/s and
then a burst at normal speed then a drop again. This includes trying to
ping my router. The connection works normally if I connect with ethernet or
use XP. Also, but of alot less importance, if I use ifup and kinternet I
can connect to my router, but if I use networkmanager I can't connect to the
router. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on?

Thanks,
Omea

I don't have any answers (at least not yet) bntut I have a lot more
questions. What driver does the USB Linksys adapter use? Does the output of
dmesg contain any useful information regarding either the intermittent data
transfer, or the problems with NetworkManager? What kind of encryption do you
use?

Maybe updating the firmware on the router could help?
