That's interesting. I applied the latest patches here (redesign locking, preemptible periodic work, the 2 softmac patches by joe and MAC suspending) and still have DUPs and losses. This is even though my revision numbers are exactly the same as yours. I even had one lockup that forced me to reboot. However, I don't have any log information (I was in X when the machine locked up). Anyway, my new airport extreme card has arrived, I'm gonna try it the next days.
