I am experiencing the same problem with two netgear cards (MA401RA - PCCARD
MA311 - PCI) both running with STA 1.3.6 (tried 1.4.9 and 1.5.6 too). 
Copying a large file via scp from one computer to the other yields a lot of
INFDROPS.
For testing purposes I tried 2.6.0-test2 on the laptop but I got the same
result plus another kernel message I haven't seen with 2.4

	kernel: wlan0: SW TICK stuck? bits=0x0 EvStat=8000 IntEn=e09f

I see this immediatly after inserting the card.

Cheers,
