i have the same model, but not yet tried to upgrade firmware nor WDS...

...and even on my card cometimes (especially when there is either no AP
near enough, or when the signal is very noisy/low)... but when the card
links to an AP this goes away... so I'd advise U to check the link
level... but this could be also foult of the new firmware, in that case
i have no idea, sorry :( (now i use it only as AP, and *win* clients use
some USB cards (robanton))

> BUT, does anyone have a clue about what causing the 44:44:44:44:44 :44 MAC?

it's something like an *default* value, which should change if U
associate to an AP... but i'm not quite sure bout this, because i
haven't used this card in managed mode very often... but it happened
also on the old f/w...
