I am NOT seeing this behavior under 2.6.29 so far (~1hr test) with
channel hopping enabled (siocsiwchan, nothing fancy) at 3x a second,
single rfmon vap set via siociwmode.

"Hostility towards Microsoft is not difficult to find on the Net, and it 
blends two strains: resentful people who feel Microsoft is too powerful, 
and disdainful people who think it's tacky. This is all strongly reminiscent 
of the heyday of Communism and Socialism, when the bourgeoisie were hated 
from both ends: by the proles, because they had all the money, and by the 
intelligentsia, because of their tendency to spend it on lawn ornaments."
