I'm using benh's latest kernel and airport driver.  Now I can't think what
would be causing this, but I thought you'd like to know.  Anyone else seen
this problem?

I have the above (with the patched pcmcia package), bronze lombard 400mhz, and
everything works for me.  It honestly sounds like a lack of signal problem.
There are a couple of graphical signal strength monitors, or you could do what
I did, and write a stupid shell script (ask me if you want it) to dredge the
signal strength out of /proc.

I don't think its signal strength, since I'm almost sitting on top of the base
station 90% of the time - and it doesn't seem to affect data coming back to
me.

Also, I've got a pismo - with the built in "apple branded" airport card, and
I'm using BenH's airport driver (not the pcmcia one).  Ben mailed me earlier
to say he is working on something...

Thanks,

Chris

Anyone know if this is fixed, or a work around?  I've got the same setup,
with the same problem.  My ssh connections over airport freeze.
