I use the ath0 driver also and I lose connection to the wireless router
sometimes.
I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 STABLE and using a D-Ling wireless card.
I have the driver compiled into the kernel but I don't have the
following:

device          ath_rate_onoe   # Onoe rate control for ath driver

Do I need this?  What does it do?

Thanks,
