Sorry for the vague 20K mi up PR, I really am stumped and am not sure
where to begin looking.  I'm not using hostap, both of these cards are
in infrastructure mode.  What really confuses me and makes me think
this isn't a wi problem, is that when I send off say an ICMP packet,
on the laptop I can see the reply in tcpdump even though ping never
see's the packet.  To me that says that wi got the packet packet and
therefore the problem isn't in the wi driver.

Just to make things a little stranger, if you ping the laptop's IP
address from the laptop, it works 100% of the time if you haven't been
pinging a remote addr.  If you have, then expect to get about a 90%
packet loss.  :-/

Any thoughts on who or where I can poke to get additional info?  I'll
run truss/ktrace on ping in the AM, but am wondering if there are any
other diags or ways of trying to tease apart what's going on?  -sc
