Now, I'm "finish" with the "practical" part... ;-).
But, I won't be here the next few weeks, (field excursion, another field excursion 
and did I mention lots of field excursion?) .

Na, don't worry, I've copied more than 4 GB over the WIFI link, it should be stable.
But, I know that some cheap APs may have "stability" problems, I ditched my old 
Netgear WG624 for that reason.

(Do you know why your AP rejects the FULLMAC driver?
If you have another card you can "monitor" for "deauth" or
"disassoc" mlmes, they include a "reason" code)
