I have the v2.2 WAP11 also. I haven't had Chris' problem (mine's been up for 3-4 weeks straight), but I am having a different strange problem -- when I try to pump lots of data through it the TCP connection will hang. Subsequent new connections are handled fine, and SSH terminal sessions will stay up for hours with no problem. I'm wondering if it's a problem with packet or frame size; going to try some testing this week and try to narrow it down. I was hoping for a magical firmware fix also, but as Chris said, none available yet. I'm really happy with the feature set of the model, and the price is right. We'll see whether this little wrinkle gets worked out. -- Brent J. Nordquist <brent at nordist.net> N0BJN Other contact information: http://www.nordist.net/contact.html
