I have found the same problem with the 2.4.18 drivers, which is why i switch to the wlan_ng ones they worked great. I have just recently switched back, repatched the kernel with the wireless extension 15 and patched the orinocco drivers to 11b+ and they seem to be fine, although I seem to get the -110 writing Tx problem
Why the change for me, easier to maintan the kernel drivers than the wlan ones, but if I keep getting these errors I might have to switch back.
