To keep things to a minimum, I'm going to post the output of "dmesg | grep -e b43".

At 1359.028638, the AP stops beaconing. hostapd is restarted at 1524.184117, and the AP resumes beaconing, though the client has to reassociate. Need anything else? I found some references to older versions of b43 dropping hardware encryption. Is Ubuntu 9.10 outdated already?
