Yes, it does sound as though the image may be too large. I don't really know how the wireless drivers work in any great detail; I reverse-engineered them from the Linux kernel drivers. Basically, I traced all the function calls within the drivers and used the trace to reconstruct the sequence of operations necessary in order to initialise, transmit, receive etc. It's quite possible that I missed out freeing a resource somewhere, in which case a large image could hit a resource allocation limit that smaller images just don't trigger.
