Well, my next suggestion would have been to file a bug through Apple  
Developer Connection, but the sound of your bug being closed would  
probably be a sonic boom if you're doing this on a hackintosh.

It's 10.6.1 and I'm using an Atheros 5212 card.  I can help dig up  
some more information about the driver
if you give me some pointers for it.

If it's Apple's driver, the bug may exist on real Macs as well; I'll  
see if I can reproduce it (but I can't make any guarantees as to how  
soon I'll be able to do that).  Given that it's on outgoing packets,  
it's probably not hardware-dependent (the driver hands outgoing  
packets to BPF before it hands them to the device).

If it's not Apple's driver, you'll have to complain to whichever  
hackintosh developer did the driver.
