I don't know if this is the same driver or not, but i was emailed this driver (when i emailed Realtek) with a slightly different version number (a more recent build or testing maybe?). By limiting my range (something i havn't tried to do) to about 5 meters or less, i am able to maintain a relatively stable connection for almost 24 hours. Normally my log complains twice a minute when i leave the safe range.

This doesn't stop the syslog's ramblings, but the connection is seemingly stable. The syslog appears to complain more often, however, which makes me think there's alot of give and take with these drivers. I emailed them back with a mention of the huge range issue, so we'll see how things go from there.
