I'm having the same problem - Sam knows about it (I've been annoying him 
for about a week and a half with info - sorry Sam!)..  I think he may be 
working on it, but he may want more details from you. 

One question - does it drop when in A, B, and G modes?  Or just one 
mode?  It seemed to me that my connection was better when using 11b mode 
(to a B/G ap).  Just curious.

Also - is "shared" mode authentication ever going to work in FreeBSD?  
Does anyone know what the problem with it is?

Eric
