This is basically a mee too. My hardware is the same as Rui's:

In a MacBook Pro. After recent wireless commits the interface has
become somewhat unstable. I'm using WPA with wpa_supplicant.
Interestingly, it's more stable at home than at work. The symptoms
I see are that even though the interface has an IP address and there
is a default route, after some time of inactivity I'll start seeing
"no route to host" error messages even though it thinks it's still
associated with the AP.
It's normally fixed by 'kldunload if_ath'. devd or something reloads
the driver and everything starts working again. However, sometimes
I get the following panic:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
