I had the first problem, not the second. I'm trying unsuccessfully to
imagine a "diseased" packet buffer :-)

It turned out that the channels I had in my frequency list were not
valid for the card I was using. Fixed the channel list, and everything
worked fine. Check out 80211bchannels and 80211achannels.
