I just noticed you are running turbo in 11g; this isn't really supported yet; it's waiting on some SuperG features that I haven't gotten to yet. If you're not on channel 6 you're going to be in trouble as turbo mode uses channel bonding which'll spread outside the available spectrum in 2.4G (and might be the reason your card wedges).
