[MLB-WIRELESS] Dropouts with Enterasys cards

[Matt]

The guy on the other end of my link had sort of similar problems. But we 
are running two enterasys cards in ad-hoc so it might not be relevant. 
Switched the cards to promiscuous mode (which is probably a lot easier to 
do in linux/BSD) and it seems to have fixed that bit.
