I upgraded to 0802.  Everything seems to be working great still.  The
Wireless App still looks confused, but I'll survive.  Is the cisco
client still accurate (ACU)?  It is showing the green bar near 100% (I
am sitting next to the AP).  iwconfig is showing Link Quality: 70/100.  

Everything looks good otherwise.  

take care,
