Also, I found that having WEP enabled triggered the problem during big transfers. With WEP disabled, I don't trigger the problem at all. I experimented with upgrading the firmware.

It sounds like there is a lot of variation in these cards. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
