Do you find your box locks up when a wireless client sends a large amount
of data through your AP?

I've tried both a RT2661D and RT2860 and the RT2860 locked up within
minutes of any serious wireless traffic. The RT2661D card only lasts
about 30 minutes or so after that.

I've given up any hope of ral(4) acting reliably in AP mode and went back
to using the crappy little netgear wireless router (not my choice, but not
much I can do in this case.)
