FWIW, I've found the WG511T and it's PCI sibling WG311T to be some of
the most stable wireless cards available under FreeBSD.  The ath
driver is very capable with these cards.  I've recently had bad
experiences with ipw, wpi, and ral based cards prompting me to pick up a
few spare 311s for my AP "just in case."  I think you won't be
disappointed.
