WEP and orinoco_cs

Hi,

I'm having a lot of problems to use WEP with orinoco_cs.  Here's my
observation:

  .  0.11b does better than the one comes with 2.4.18

  .  downloading at peak speed is fine with 0.11b (>500KB/s:)

  .  uploading at peak speed is not working at all,  it does not last
     for a second.  Tested with Dlink 650 (fw 1.3.4) and Orinoco Silver
     (fw 8.10)  The worst part is the failure could bring down the AP
     and the whole wireless lan.
       eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP

  .  uploading at peak speed is OK when using Orinoco Silver with FW
     7.52.   
     There is one improvement,  I doubt,  causes the problem:
         · Encrypted Frames at 11 Mbit/s are now Fragmented.
	   Frames to be transmitted encrypted at 11 Mbit/s are now
	   fragmented into fragments of maximum 540 bytes. This is a
	   workaround to reduce the performance impact on the AP when
	   multiple stations are transmitting encrypted frames at 11
	   Mbit/s to the AP.

  .  browsing the web has not been a problem.  and NO problem when WEP
     is off. 


I wish it could be helpful for developer to catch the bug.

Thanks,
Jack

PS. I've tried "test",  the same.
