Hello,

I have seen this and this is somewhat site-specific.  I never had this before 
4.43k, however I had issues with satellites going offline indefinately.  So, it 
is the lesser of two evils at this time.  I am working to provide info as to 
how the current "blind radio" syndrome can be addressed.  I am hoping the next 
version will resolve this.  My current fix is to use an old 3.88 licensed CPE 
unit since it does not load tertiary Orinoco firmware; 6.08 firwmare does not 
have these problems, however if you use WEP, it is "less secure" since 6.08 
will send out weak WEP IVs.
