It could still have been a fragmentation issue (at the client, not the 
AP). Any idea how old the XP driver was before you bumped it up?

I'm not sure what Jens has set for RTS and Frag in his driver.

Hmmm... And Christian, since you mentioned it, it might be nice to be 
able to tweak these settings from XWLAN... <g,d,&r> (Not sure how to 
implement this in a generic way, nor how to make these changes "on the 
fly." In the AP, most reboot when these settings change, don't they?)
