Friends of the forum,
After the firmware update my NS5 are showing various error messages WLAN Rx invalid nwid ERRORS, I wonder who and how do I relate these errors, I'm using version XS5.ar2313.v3.3.2.4257.090214.1458

Try reloading Air Os 3.3.2...
This is what the madwifi web site says...
Invalid NWID
The NWID (or Domain ID) was the parameter used in pre-802.11 wireless systems to create logical networks on the shared medium. 802.11 systems use the ESSID (or variations therein) for this purpose.
An interface will usually have a desired logical network associated with it; any packets received that are not associated with this will be dropped, and will increment the 'invalid nwid' counter. The name is a could now be considered anachronistic.
An increasing 'invalid nwid' counter means that there are other stations transmitting on the channel, or channels that are not completely orthogonal to it. It is an indication of increased use of the channel.
