Are you using a Wi-Fi adapter that the Raspi can handle?
I have two here, one must take to much power and it just locks up the Raspi.
The other one is very tiny, I tink it is an Edi? Its on Amazon and was
recommended to work well with the Raspi and it does for me, and was
recognized immediately by Raspbian and XBian.

Glenn,
I don't think I know any more. I'm just about to give up on wifi.
Over the two days or so since my dongles arrived I have tried all sorts of
combinations. Some things seem to work and some sort of work.
My router page doesn't seem to be very reliable in truthfully showing what
devices are attached to the wifi access point. And when I do get a Raspi
successfully associated with the AP, shown by:
sudo iwconfig wlan-0
It seems to drop out after a few minutes.
The exception is this moring when I woke up and found the Raspbian Raspi
still associated. But in all this I have only once succeeded in making an
SSH connection over wifi, only to lose it after five minutes.
I've just about exhausted my patience with it.
