wi0 wi_seek timeout

[Neil Camara]

Hey guys, 

Here is an update regarding upgrade of my flash in Netgear MA311.
I used WinUpdate. I downloaded the 1.5.6 firmware for my FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE.
The upgrade was successful. 

1.) This is what it reports by ifconfig 

wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
       inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe67:8177%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3

       wepkey 1:128-bit wepkey 2:128-bit wepkey 3:128-bit wepkey 4:128-bit 

2.) This is what is reported by cat /var/run/dmesg.boot|grep wi0 

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xfedfd000-0xfedfdfff irq 12 at device 14.0 on

3.) This is the report from wicontrol

Now, I'm experiencing really worst connection. After connecting to my local 
ftp server and download a sample file, I lost my connection. I went directly 
and opened up my /var/log/messages. Below are the logs. I feel like 
reverting back to P 1.0.7  S 1.3.6. :( 

But anyways, what are the fixes for the errors below? I just hope my card 
isn't toast. FYI, I only uploaded P and S. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.
