Using iperf between a wired machine on the other side of the AP and the hostap box makes hostap output the message wifi0: SW TICK stuck? bits=0x0 EvStat=8000 IntEn=e09f before things slowly grind to a halt in a lockup that seemingly needs a sysrq reboot. This problem seems to be reproducible every time but does not happen with Ubuntu's 2.6.22 kernel. -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/
