Is this an operating system issue? Can this be reproduced on *nix, Mac, others?

Could this be a drivers issue on the OS, could this be a firmware issue on the 
H/W?

Subject: [enterasys] Enterasys HiPath and Intel Clients

Is anyone out there having any trouble with Intel WLAN adapters and HiPath?  
Specifically, we've had ~100 student laptops come in with Intel 1000BGN 
adapters - latest drivers - that remain connected to the network, but stop 
receiving traffic from our 3610 APs.  Disconnect/reconnect and things are fine 
for a short while, then stop working again.  Some clients stop receiving 
traffic immediately after obtaining an IP address.  Open SSID, WPA2, it doesn't 
matter. 

I've also had trouble with random versions of the Intel 5100 adapter.  
5300/62xx/63xx only seem to experience occasional packet loss but otherwise no 
major problems.  Atheros/Broadcom adapters exhibit none of these issues.

I'm currently working with support, but it's pretty slow going so I thought I'd 
ping to see if others are having the same issues.  Running firmware 
7.41.05.0003 here. 

Cheers!
