Hey guys, 

I bought Netgear MA311 at BestBuy. I connected it to my FreeBSD 4.9 STABLE 
and wi0 was detected. I'm actually using it now. The machine is an HP Vectra 
VL machine. It has a non-2.2 PCI slot. 

Here is the info:
wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xfedfd000-0xfedfdfff irq 12 at device 14.0 on 
pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:67:81:77
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06 

Although, I have noticed on my Windows XP that within a minute, I get 5 to 7 
disconnects. I mean, on the taskbar, it shows a bubble displaying "network 
unavailable". Then after few seconds, it shows another bubble saying signal 
strenght Excellent and sometimes Very Good. 

I visited my /var/log/messages on my FreeBSD and found out this string: 

Feb 18 21:39:25 buko /kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 
403c 

How do I verify my firmware?
How do I upgrade my firmware? 

Any help will be appreciated. 

Neil
