I got another similar report from another one of our wifidog nodes.  I
went to Red & Black yesterday to see if I could observe the problem.
I was there for an hour and it worked perfectly for me.  I did have an
irc session open, so there was traffic moving over my session.
Perhaps that isn't the case for you.  While I was there I managed to
set up a port forward so we can remote admin our access point.

Can you give me more details about your OS, radio hardware and
behavior that might help to narrow down the problem?
