After sending some amount of data, it starts sending out corrupted data, including broken MAC, packet length and similar. Soeren Schmidt confirmed a similar problem for iwi, so it may not be driver related. See this thread for details, excerpts below http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-October/057105.html | I have an oldish computer VIA KT333/Athlon XP board (i386) that I | recently upgraded from FreeBSD 5.4 (was rock solid) to 6.0-BETA3 and | today to 6.0-RC1 (I rebuilt everything from scratch). | | I had to upgrade because there was no ral(4) driver for FreeBSD 5.4 but | only for 6.0, which I needed after I had switched from 3C900 Combo | (802.3 whatever 10Base2) to Edimax EW-7128g (802.11b/g). The latter card | is based on RT2525 and RT2560 chips/modules. I'm using WPA-TKIP to | connect it to an AVM Fritz!Box Fon WLAN. | | The computer is dual boot with SUSE Linux 9.3, where RA card is | absolutely stable and does 48 Mbps without trouble. And Soeren replied: | Yes I see the same thing with iwi, it looses connection now and then. Heavy | traffic alone doesn't do it, but starting VNCviewer kills it every time. A | killall -1 wpa_supplicant gets the connection back on track... Other end here | is a Dlink DI624+ so the mix is totally different from yours... >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
