Problem with wireless NIC, netgear MA 311 (lucent orinoco)

I'm having a problem with my wireless NIC, a netgear ma311 (lucent orinoco)

I get it installed and working, but after a while it locks up.
I get lots of "Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP" error messages.
When it has locked and I try to change anything with iwconfig i get a message: "Device is busy" or something like that.

I read somewhere that setting a low RTS threshold, i used 250 bytes, would be a workaround. It got better, it took a bit longer before it locked up again.

I use Gentoo 1.4 with kernel 2.4.22. I had the same problem when i had Red Hat 9 with kernel 2.4.20 installed on the same machine.

When i boot to Windows XP everthing works just fine.

I solved the problem myself.

I set the RTS threshold to a even lower value (200) and it seems to work.

I guess this isn't the best thing to do performnance wice, but atleast it is working.
