The bug with 0.09b is a race condition in Tx code. This was fixed in version 0.11. Have you tried 2.4.19-pre8-acX (well, I mean the Orinoco driver in 2.4.19-pre8 ;-). It contains the new version of the driver (v11) that fixes the race condition (but introduce the potential COR problem). If 2.4.19-pre8-acX fails, that would be for an entirely different reason (even if the failure might look similar). > Any specific info/debug/traces that would help ?
