Hi,
I'm running hostap on an ipcop box using the wlanap addon and hostap
drivers and i seem to be having a problem whereby the card (Senao
NL-2511CD Ext2) resets under heavyish traffic load or when there are
more than a couple of clients connected.

At the moment i'm running,
NICID: id=0x800c v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) PCMCIA (SST parallel flash))
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.7.4 (station firmware)

but i've also experienced the problem using 1.8.2 firmware as well.
Dmesg output leading up to the reset is included below.
The only idea i could come up with is that according to /proc/interrupts
the card is sharing an irq with my ethernet card and another pci device
(i'm assuming it's the pcmcia>pci bridge?) Would this be expected to
cause problems?

output of /proc/interrupts;
5:    1459605          XT-PIC  PCI device 1180:0476, hostap_cs, eth0
