Ok guys, looks like I found the answer to this problem. I was having the same issues on my Toshiba U305-5077 and I found this quite by accident. Go to:
www.aps2.toshiba-tro.de/
and click on downloads. Go through the model name/number etc and then find the file named:
atheros-wlan-vista-731109.zip
This will cure the problem at least for those of you who have the Atheros AR5007G network adapter. Maybe it works with earlier models too?
Funny thing is I called this hotel's network management hotline (Trinicor) last night about the problem and they told me all about this issue. They've been having problems with it since the Vista release. They even called Toshiba USA and they didn't know what to do. Today I called 'em back and helped them *L* They hadn't heard of this fix. It's new, dated Sept 2007. Strange it's listed on a european site though.
Happy putering
