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).
