[TriLUG] odd openwrt behavior

I have two hardware rev 3 openwrt units that exibit odd behavior in
WET mode.  One unit I am testing at home in WET mode (bridge to
another access point) will NOT sych up with the primary access point
until you ssh into the unit and issue the following commands "wifi
down ; wifi up".  Once this command is run the unit synchs with the
primary AP and all is well.

I am seeing the same thing on my beach access point  - it will not
sych with the primary AP unit I ssh in after a reboot and issue "wifi
down ; wifi up".  I've tried to put these commands into a startup
script but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?  I want to stress that I do not make any changes to the
unit, just bring down the wireless interface and bring it back up. 
Then it works great.  Strange.
