As Michael said, I was the one that reported the behavior. My card was a BCM4318
in a Cardbus format running V5.2 of the openfwwf. The AP is a Linksys WRT54G V5
running standard firmware v1.02.6. A list of nearby AP's with channels and
strengths are as follows:
Cell 01 - Address: 00:14:BF:85:49:FA
Channel:1
Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
Quality=70/70 Signal level=-6 dBm
Encryption key:on (WPA2)
ESSID:"lwfdjf_rad"
Cell 02 - Address: 00:1B:11:5C:B0:83
Channel:1
Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
Quality=25/70 Signal level=-85 dBm
Encryption key:on (WEP)
ESSID:"Browns"
Cell 03 - Address: 00:1A:70:46:BA:B1
Channel:11
Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
Quality=42/70 Signal level=-68 dBm
Encryption key:on (WEP)
ESSID:"Larry with space"
Cell 04 - Address: 00:23:69:81:B7:D9
Channel:6
Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
Quality=34/70 Signal level=-76 dBm
Encryption key:on (WEP)

Cell 05 - Address: 00:14:BF:0C:7E:14

Cell 06 - Address: 00:22:6B:78:18:7D
Channel:11
Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
Quality=26/70 Signal level=-84 dBm

I was connected to the AP in Cell 01. The test was my usual with a repeating
tcpperf run in one terminal and a flood ping to the same server in a second.
Please let me know if I missed any useful information.
This condition may take a long time to show up. For instance, my latest test ran
for 25 hours before failure. All other tests have failed much more quickly, but
one never knows. I have not seen this failure with standard firmware.
