The heavily-used ones exhibit the problem described at:

...but that's a driver, not a hardware, issue. The one in the router at my house doesn't exhibit the problem, the two differences there being that the machine is 7.0-RELEASE, and there are only a couple of clients connected to it, as opposed to the ~30 connected to my heavily-used ones.

Are you sure you have sufficient RAM to hold 30 users?

What you seem to be saying is that the ath driver is leaking mbufs and hence you get a panic, right?

Pretty sure. The Soekris has 256 MB of RAM. I suspect that it's a leak because things are usually great, even with ~30 users, with the "80211node" portion from "vmstat -m" only taking a few hundred KiB of RAM. Every few days, it spikes to over 100 MiB, and the "ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!" kernel messages appear, often followed by a panic. I haven't had time to try another rate-control algorithm, as per the responses to my post, but I'll report back when I do get around to it.
