Looks like your signal quality is not good, the ber is quite high. Besides the antenna, the cause can also be a bad cable. This also explains why scanning is not stable: Especially with auto configuration, it might take more than a second for the channel decoder to lock. As fas as i remember, w_scan has an option to increase the timeout. Amy i ask you to run femon or tzap for several minutes to see whether the reception is stable? You might also check the other functions of the card and report. I don't have it so i can't verify the confguration.
