I AM getting: Mar 2 21:51:46 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded Mar 2 21:53:28 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded Mar 2 21:56:48 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded Mar 2 21:57:31 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded Mar 2 21:57:32 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded once I set hw.wi.txerate to -1. Is this bad? I just recently (today) started having trouble communicating between my osx mac and Freebsd AP. I don't use wireless terribly often, so I'm not sure how long it's been like--it was definitely working faster and fine >2 weeks ago (I've built world a couple times since then [running current]). I'm getting lots of packet loss doing pings, and file transfers are ~100KB/s thanks much, Scott uname -a FreeBSD atevi.dyndns.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #2: Fri Feb 28 16:29:38 EST 2003 root@atevi.dyndns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ATEVI i386 ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
