802.11 kernel errors

[ME]

Have you tried using the alternate channels for the 802.11b card and
station? Perhaps you can find a range the NIC/unit use that the phone does
not, or see if the phone can have its frequency changed to something that 
the other does not.

Good thing you found the problem, that would have taken a bit of time to
trouble shoot over e-mail ];>
