I did a clean install of Leopard and now my wireless signal will not stay connected more than a few minutes.

Anyone else had this problem? Any fixes?

Thanks!

Did you apply the Login and Keychain software update?

Did you do the software update? That fixed it on my G5 iMac. Didn't have the problem on any of the Intel machines.

I filed a bug report on this issue in 9A527 and 9A559. It was quickly labeled duplicate (2 known issues my ***). I keep expecting to have it occur again to me, but it's been about 24 hours so far with no disconnects.

I fixed it. I had some stuck processes that were causing the CPU to overheat and apparently when the wireless module gets hot it drops the connections.
