I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and I have just rebuild world and installed a new kernel, still nothing works. Does anyone know why this happens? This is causing me allot of problems, I cannot connect to the router properly because the card randomly looses carrier and I - of course - loose connectivity. Very irritating, because I often disconnect from IRC, slow download etc. Regards, Fridrik Bragi Dyrfjord
