I'm going to suggest that this might be a symptom of your usb port/hub hanging-up/ disconnecting due to inactivity. Your BIOS setup may have a setting associated with that. OTOH I don't know what NIC driver you're using for your USB network adapter. When you discover you can't perform DNS lookups, are you still associated? eg; does the output of ifconfig still show associated? What are the settings in rc.conf(5) related to your network setup? > > Thanks, > Sreenath HTH --Chris
