I am having a similar problem in an AP-1000 as well.  My problem, however,
is that after a seemingly random period of time, all customers on a
Turbocell link lose IP connectivity for anywhere from 1-7 minutes.  They
never lose radio signal, but the customers cannot even ping the access point
interface IP during these outages.  I am also running 4.31 and have 8.10 on
the gold cards that I am using.  I have seen this consistently 1-3 times a
week for the past 2 months and rebooting the AP makes no difference.  I
suspect that there is a bug somewhere in the Karlnet code that locks up a
routing or MAC table somewhere, perhaps a memory leak, though I don't have
enough insight into the code to figure the rest out.  I was planning on
reporting this as a bug to Karlnet, but haven't done so yet.

-Ben.
