I'm having problems with an Atheros PCI card (D-Link G520) when running FreeBSD 5.4 i386: 1. I've been testing the card with the computers placed within 4 feet of the wireless router. 2. When I tested the card in a AMD64 socket 939 computer, it worked fine in Windows XP (rules out hardware issues). When I boot to FreeBSD 5.4 Release (i386 port, not amd64), executing ping results in over 95% packets lost. The on-board, vge ethernet port works fine in either OS. 3. When I use the card in a AMD Athlon XP computer running FreeBSD 5.4, executing ping results in over 95% packets lost. I cvsup'd overnight and rebuilt the world and kernel this morning. The results did not improve. The on-board, realtek ethernet port works fine. What should I do next to find the source of the problem? Thanks, Andrew Gould
