After some further testing it seems the Windows 7 laptop has issues from
time to time. Most often they appear with power saving set to maximum. I
also bought a new toy, the new iPad, and I've had some annoying issues
with it. The iPad works fine after authenticating, but when I try to use
it again after it has slept for some time I am unable to connect to the
AP. (The iPad shows as "connected" but nothing seems to get through.)
Only cure was to bring the athn interface down and up again on the AP.

Then I noticed Nathanael Rensen's patch on the mailing list (
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=134884569621114 ). The IEEE802.11
parts looked worth trying and what do you know - the problems I had were
solved.

Thanks for the hard work guys! I'll report back if I encounter any more
issues.
