Ath vs Netgear wg311t stuck beacon error

I am having trouble getting a Netgear WG311t card to work, I had tried 7.1beta but kept getting irq interrupt storm no matter what slot or irq was set to the slot/card. Installed 6.3, stuck beacon error. I have tried  a, b, and g mode. I have tested the card with other "os's" to see if was hardware.

ifconfig ath0 up
ifconfig ath0 inet 10.10.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid myap media 11g mediaopt hostap
