The details of the problem as encountered on 1000 series can be found in http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2103 The problem is that when HT is used in a noisy environment then connections can stall and station be deauthenticated from the AP. The solution is to enforce that RTS/CTS protection be used when in HT mode. These patches are also targeting stable but do not apply there in its current form. They will be backported and submitted there once they make it into linux-2.6.
