I had very good luck with my first AP, a Linksys WRT54G V1, that I

AP?
last I checked, linksys (cisco?) still sells the linux-compatible
version as the WRT54GL. <- note the extra 'L'.
I know, but have decided to stay with V5 (and bitch a lot) as others are likely to suffer from the
same problems as I do. As many of them would never try alternate firmware, we need to provide the
workarounds. If I'm using one of the brain-dead APs, I get the symptoms first hand and can tell when
they are fixed.
Well. You say that it works with your AP and without my patch, but
not with the patch. I'd say it works by pure luck. I don't think
my patch changes any semantics. It just properly protects some
parts from racing. Maybe you actually benefit from these races
and softmac magically "races you the correct result" ;)
Or do you notice something that changes semantics?
No, only that the system recovers w/o your patch, and not with it. It could very well race to the
correct point. ATM, I have your patch back in and I'm trying to get more diagnostics in the logs.
I'll let you know.
