Certainly, this is how I tested on 3.x, 4.1 and -current!
I suspected as much.
I note that your raycontrol dump shows that the hopset is 0x03 and not 0x1d. Did you change it? I'm not sure that the hopset code selection actually works well on rev4 cards (conflicting information in docs etc.)
Is the hopset 'HOP_SEQ'? It seems to change itself in between power-up and configure, see below. I did observe some odd behavior when issuing the command 'raycontrol -i ray0 -f 1' repeatedly - the HOP_SEQ value seemed to go through random bytes ranging from 0x02 to 0x4-something.
Hmm, this means that the cards aren't seeing each other at all. The seperated BSSIDs and INITED flag, mean that the cards have set up seperate networks.
OK, that confirms what I was thinking.
Things to try - plug one card in and wait a couple of minutes before plugging in the next
Tried that, to no avail.
check the hopsets
I've issued the -f 1 command against both cards. As I've noted, HOP_SEQ is all over the map, don't know if that's good or bad.
I don't think that the W98 will change anything on the cards in a permanant fashion.
I may try it as a last resort...
Try moving them away from the monitor - the scan coils may be interfering with the radio.
Tried that as well as I can, given the available space in my office. The 'base' station is about 4 feet above the nearest monitor. I did my last set of tests with the remote about 5 feet away from the nearest monitor. Of course, if the radios are sensitive to noise within these ranges, I can hardly use them anyway... :-(
Other info...
www.webgear.com is now offering a flash upgrade from plain 2.4 (& rev 4) to 2.4 Pro (& rev 5) firmware. Visit the site and find the Win2K upgrade - it includes most of a flash floppy in the kit, just add one bootable DOS floppy and run. I've applied this upgrade to my cards, no additional luck. But, as I understand it, rev 5 is worth having anyway.
I ran a still more careful test tonight. I started with both systems (zork and zorba) powered down, with the ray cards inserted. I powered zork (the base station) up first. The raycontrol output, before issuing any networking commands, was

I then issued:

and reran raycontrol

I then powered up zorba and waited for it to boot. Upon startup, I ran raycontrol:
