[MLB-WIRELESS] Dropouts with Enterasys cards

[Matt Pearce]

Yup, I get the same thing, although I have no idea why.  I have my win xp
box connected to my FreeBSD box.  Both are running enterasys cards and ricoh
cradles.  I did notice that it didnt use to do it before I put of win xp
sp1.  So there might be something in there that is the problem.

Matt.
