Right. My question was because I've seen _some_ models of AAs
misbehave a bit with the firmware present in 0.5. The very early AA
prototypes are subtly different -- and I've seen them reset themselves
every few hours. Later black-box prototypes and pretty-green AAs
should nothave as much trouble (and yet, I haven't tested in
thoroughly but I suspect they do get wedged sometimes).

(Fixes are hard, but are on their way - in the short term at least AAs
are not supported.)

Big thanks to them and to you. I'm working today to repro and diagnose
the problem, with an Active Antenna.

Any further hints as to minimum steps to repro welcome. Have to say
your wide testing of clients guves me excellent datapoints!

thanks!
