I disabled WME and it behaves a little different:

[root_at_ap2] 115% ifconfig wlan0 list sta
ADDR               AID CHAN RATE RSSI IDLE  TXSEQ  RXSEQ CAPS FLAG

But the client (Win XP) can't get an address from the DHCP server, and
if I set a static address on the client still nothing.  The wired LAN
is very busy, but from tcpdump it looks like the packets from the
client get to the LAN, but they aren't responded to.

thanks,
