The upstream author of wireless-tools suspects it is a regression in the
kernel drivers. Try downgrading the kernel to 2.6.12 or earlier, or try
upgrading to 2.6.14 (it's out!). If it does matter which version of the
kernel you have, then you should forward the problem to the appropriate
kernel maintainers.
