I had the same issue, but it's gone now.
What I did:

1. ran PC-BSD 9.0 without problems
2. upgraded to 9.1-BETA1 or 2, had the firmware errors after 
transmitting some MB.
3. Installed Linux Mint out of curiosity, the wireless just worked
4. re-installed PC-BSD 9.1-RC1 or something and the firware errors were 
history (so far :) )

So, maybe it might be worth a try to boot some Linux Live CD.
