I'm getting these in /var/log/messages:

Dec 29 12:14:51 trevarthan kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x010b; event status 0x8000
Dec 29 12:14:51 trevarthan kernel: wi0: xmit failed
Dec 29 12:14:52 trevarthan kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000
Dec 29 12:14:57 trevarthan kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

And this happens sometimes when I try to run `dhclient wi0`:

Dec 29 12:19:18 trevarthan dhclient: wi0: not found
Dec 29 12:19:30 trevarthan dhclient: wi0: not found

AFAIK, this never used to happen with FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE.

uname -a:

Any ideas? I can't seem to fix it without rebooting.
