I also probably have this problem. I posted before under the subject
"Intermittent connection loss (with windows client), with incorrect MAC
reported" .. but so far, no luck in resolving it. Although, in my case,
I have no WEP, or any security. And i'm in ad-hoc mode.

In my case, after "a while" (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes half an
hour, etc), the connection breaks. Both the machines use the same
D-Link G520 card, except one is linux, the other is winxp. On the winxp
end, after the connection breaks, every time I restart the wireless
network, my ESSID is shown to have a new random MAC. Unloading the
drivers and restarting the wireless network on my end *usually* fixes
things. Which is why I'm inclined to think it's a madwifi problem.
