I had only compiled in the PID-based thing. Fixed that, made Minstrel
the default.

At first glance this improves things, but not enough. I have an ajax
application that is polling the web server and which runs into its 5
sec timeouts fairly regularly. I had this working almost ok before
with an Atheros card and the latest madwifi driver, but got trashed by
"stuck beacon" events. I will try this card again with the ath5k
driver and see how this works.

Thanks for your help,
  Stefan.
