I am also seeing frequent loss of association and firmware restarts with the new firmware. On occasion, I can't recover even when I reload the driver. Admittedly, I am using an old driver right now (2.6.29, I think). I'm going to upgrade to 2.6.30.1 with the latest compat-wireless. I'll file a bug if things continue as they are. Thank you very much for getting the new firmware out!
