Yeah. That's exactly the same sort of thing I was seeing, which
clearing the essid seems to help with most of the time. I
occasionally find the wifi just stops working completely for no
apparent reason, ping and all other traffic fails but it otherwise
seems normal from the iwconfig and ifconfig output. Other times I
get pages and pages of this rapidly flooded in dmesg:

without any line breaks and where the XX is the access point
address. The only thing that seems to fix it when it does that is to
reboot.
Cheers,
Alex
