What is the *specific* sympton you see here ? We reported back in February the problem of the second line of your "ifconfig wi0" command output (i.e., "inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xfffff...") simply disappearing after some random amount of idle time. The wi0 device, however, stays "associated" with the AP, but the netork doesn't work anymore. This also with FBSD 6.2-R. -- Dr Gary E RAFE: drgerlists at gmail dot com
