I suppose I don't have a specific answer for that, it would seem to be an engineering issue. From my experience, I have seen this happen with 11b radios both SB and not, ive also seen an AP lock another AP on a non-isolated channel (Ideally, it would just see it and try to work around/ignore/at least report the interference). It could also be something faulty with the individual device, have you tried to swap it out just for giggles?

Austin, Now you're talking. That sounds like a good tool to use. However so far no one has come up with a convincing reason to excuse an APPO locking up due to noise. Why would it require a reboot? Everyone seems to accept that a bit of unexpected noise would crash one and require a site visit. I don't accept this. I don't care how noisy it is, unless the device actually burns out why can''t it reset itself?
