Just to save anybody else from going through this one...
We had a mysterious problem with two Cisco 340 AP's on a mountaintop. They are connected back-to-back with a crossover ethernet cable, and their antennas point in different directions; they're also on different channels. They stopped working one day, and in troubleshooting I noticed that clients would associate if one or the other AP was turned on, but once they were both turned on, the connection would drop, and no clients would associate. The problem was resolved (eventually) by turning off antenna diversity; apparently the leakage between the unconnected antenna ports was causing the AP's to lock to those ports, disconnecting the external antennas. AP's may not associate with each other, but at least the 340's definitely listen to each other.
