[KLUG Members] Multiple WAPs

I'm installing a wireless network - and covering the required area
requires two WAPs (both DI-624's).  It works so long as I only have one
WAP powered on - with both I can't maintain a connection.  Both WAPs are
plugged into a hub, the hub is plugged into a port on a server that
provides DHCP and routing.  The client can maybe acquire a DHCP lease
but shortly there after looses all connectivity.  Both Linux and WinXPee
clients exhibit the same behaviour.

Do I have to set anything special on the WAPs to keep them from
interfering with each other?  I have select different channels on each,
that didn't seem to help.

Given that we have two WAPs at the chamber I assume I'm just missing
something stupid.
