I am using a Model B 256MB Pi with an Edimax EW-7711UTn USB WiFi adaptor. After some hours, the WiFi connection begins to drop and be restarted. Until it stops working completely. This is what I see in /var/log/messages:

And dmesg sometimes tells me:
[20014.112395] wlan0: deauthenticating from xxx by local choice (reason=3)
wpa processes running are:
1872 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.pid -i wlan0 -W -D nl80211,wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
2010 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/wpa_cli -B -P /var/run/wpa_action.wlan0.pid -i wlan0 -p /var/run/wpa_supplicant -a /sbin/wpa_action
Does anyone else have these problems, and how can I fix those?
