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.
