It's plugged into the same switch as the other AP, so I don't think duplex is an issue. New AP has it's own IP address. I did assign it the same address as my FreeBSD/dummynet server for a while and had a conflict there, but I fixed that and re-booted the server and AP. If the ARP tables were screwed up, how would I fix that?
