>Description:
I have DWL-G520b wireless card on my system. It works extremly good with windows XP(dual-boot). Later I removed XP and install FreeBSD 6.1 and hoped latest release may fix it but not avail.
issue:
ath0 times out every few minutes
drivers were loaded @ loader.conf and also tried kldload:
ath
ath_hal (0.9.16.16)
ath_rate_sample
Please help (check out dmesg since system boot 20 hours) and you will see may UP/DOWN on ath.

>How-To-Repeat:
There are many ways to dulplicate this issue.
1- You can trying pinging remote machine and it will time out after a min or so
2- Browse websites and it will time out again.
3- Leave it alone and it will time out too (local sendmail, http/Ftp is running)
>Fix:
It not fix but helps
-Temporary you can go to ttyvs0 (normally you will see these time out on that console or one you are not using) and press enter to get shell. Wait for 10 seconds and ping again, it will start working.
