As niram reports to have done in his last post, I have compiled and installed latest http://wireless.kernel.org/ drivers, and all the same the bug is there.
I restate it: at completely random times, wireless totally stops working, and if issued ping accesspoint, a "sendmsg: no buffer space available" error message is returned.
However a preferential trigger seems to be torrent or openssh-based clients (ssh, sftp, sshfs). My setup:
slax 6.1.1
Linux slax 2.6.27.8 #1 SMP Sun Apr 12 22:55:24 Local time zone must be set--see zic i686 VIA Esther processor 1000MHz CentaurHauls GNU/Linux

wifi usb dongle : alfa awus036h, rtl8187 chipset

I add that with old r8187 driver (such as the one included in BackTrack3) there was no problem, but I can't get it to compile on present 27.8 kernel.

I also tried to increase /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max up to 100000000 as read somewhere, without success.
