That's interesting... I have the same setup (except with an Orinoco Silver card) and get the same thing, usually in the evening. During the day, it's rock solid.
I thought it might be some interference from a cordless phone or something. Monitoring the WAP11 shows lots of Ack Failures when this is happening. Not sure where to go from there... but would love to hear any ideas anyone has for further troubleshooting.
