By "driver" I mean a low level program that enables the wifi chip to talk to the OS. For iDevices, the OS is of course iOS. For routers, it's VXWorks or whatever Linksys/D-Link/Belkin/Asus are using these days.
I knew what you meant, but you're still wrong. The drivers (firmware) are only to control the radio on ONE device. The 802.11 medium access connection between devices has nothing to do with "drivers" between two or more devices, they're completely transparent to the device and AP. They don't communicate with "drivers", they communicate via the antennas using 802.11 MAC.
It's most likely a firmware problem with Apple's wifi radio handler. If I had the inclination, I'd packet sniff it and see where Apple's problem is, but I need to cut the grass.
