can anyone suggest where I might look to work out what's causing
this or has anyone seen it with their access points?
the wireless client (dell laptop, windows XP, IPW2200BG) sees the
access point (14 july i386, ral(4) RT2860, dmesg below) with reasonable
signal strength, when it tries to connect it auths then immediately
deauth's, this is repeated a few times.

00:0e:8e:1d:a6:56
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2860 (rev 0x0101), RF RT2820 (2T3R)
it's an open network, no encryption, and the client isn't
configured for encryption.

it's a simple access-point setup with ral0 bridged to vr0.
