Are you using static WEP or something else? Also, does this happen on all clients at the same time, or all APs at the same time, or neither? How frequently do you see this issue? Finally, you might want to look at this field notice. It doesn't mention the issue with the 1231, but it's worth noting (sounded similar, but I don't think this is your issue). Also, what are your handheld clients?
