Can't say. It does work well enough here. Sometimes I indeed lose the AP 
association, but that's probably because I have a long distance of 
~60-80 freeland meters to the AP. It is easily remedied by calling 
iwconfig in a loop. Works now for over 1 3/4 years already.

Yeah it's 2.6.6. You should update, or let a slightly better box do the 
6-6 mapping ;-)

No oopses should happen. It's just that conntrack will record two 
different connections for what is one, and the states thus don't work 
reliably.
