Something like this might happen during big load, especially with small packets. Unfortunately almost all 802.11b chipsets (ADM8211 is an exception) uses PIO which is very CPU-inefficient. Under big load everything gets really nasty (like lost interrupts) and I saw some similar problems with Cisco 350 cards.

On another subject.... from time to time one of the radio cards stops responding resulting in an error msg that fills the /var/log/messages filethe error msg contains: "kernel: netcs1: prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events 0x0000" This only happens with a card in AP mode and only when I am using both pcmcia slots ( 2-slot soekris boards ) I wrote a monitoring script that checks the /var/log/messages file once per minute for this error msg "prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events" and does the following if it is found cardctl suspend sleep 1 cardctl resume sleep 1 sleep 10 echo . > /var/log/messages this last line clears the log file so this monitoring script does not go into a loop. This power-cycles the radio cards and everything starts working again. This without having to reboot the unit. J.
